|
|
Hello
I am looking to buy a new royal or two but as we are all aware the choice is so great it gets difficult to decide.
My ideas are:
Pair het caramel albino's (I really like the end product of these)
Male pinstripe to complement my female albino or
if can find one in my budget a male spider/het albino.
All comments on above ideas most welcome, also any other ideas.
thanks

for what its worth , my two ha'pennies...
scrub the het caramel albino's .
..use the money from them to get a visual Spider , for putting to Albino female , thus getting Spiders Het Albino ....cross back a male Spider H.Albino following year ... to Dam Albino ( mother ) presto Albino Spiders !
also you could probs get a nice male Pin as well
only probs is maybe having just the one female albino
I would prefer getting the Visuals over Hets any day of the wek if I had the choice . JMHO _________________ 3.7.0 Royals

the only snag is when he's grown the spider up to size and paired it to the albino female then the eggs hatch and there is no spiders let alone a male spider het albino.if i was you mike i would save for longer and try to get a spider het alb.i agree with pete on scrubbing the hets though,awesome project but it can be a long route to go down to hatch poss het babies,mind you with your awesome het pairing abilities you'll probbly hatch a sack full of caramels  _________________ www.jamieswordsreptiles.com |

Jamie has a point re success rate of the clutch ...lol I was looking on the brighter side ( after having sacrificed a few goats , pigs )
as with any genetics , theres a certain element of luck  _________________ 3.7.0 Royals

tough one, what do you like the look of more caramel albinos, pin albinos or spider albinos? once you've worked that out i think you will know what to get the only trouble you might have it trying to find pin and spider het albinos maybe. i personally would try and get a pin het albino but the more i see of caramel albinos it could quickly change.  |

Go with what you like, doesn't matter what peoples opinion are, I'd go for the Het-Caramels, by the time you breed them, you will be able to trade Caramels for any Albino Spider
