Man I hate when people ask me this about leos because the obvious answer is breed what you like but I'm going to ask it anyway.

My brother has been growing up some females that should be able to go soon. Any suggestions on what males to go with? One is a het Axanthic (his friend had the male and it died so no more chances at axanthics) and the other is a Pastel. Any thoughts?

It really depends on why you want to breed ? do you want to produce some cool babies to keep ? do you want to be able to possibly sell a few or trade?
I made the mistake early by getting to many projects started that are long term 3-5 year projects. first off if your really serious about producing some offspring you need at least 5 females breeding size. Im not sayimg you cant be successful with 2 breeders its just better odds with more females and a few males. The nice thing is you already have a Co dominant male . It wasnt that long ago that pastel would have cost a chunk of change. One choice is to buy a spider female breeder and produce bumblebees this season. Buy a breeder pastel and produce supers this season. If time is not a facter but cash is breed your pastel male to your het for axanthic and keep your female pastels to raise to breeding age. This would make your pastels possible het for axanthic. Sale a few male pastels and buy a 100 het axanthic male baby that would breed the following season and have a shot at an axanthic pastel with one female and produce supers with the others. you really need at least two clutches for this. That would possibly give you 8 pastels pos het for axanthic.you could also breed a pastel male back to the het axanthic female the following year! And use the females for supers. With just the two breeders you have you still have a chanca at pastels pos het for axanthic which isnt so bad considering when pastels were a new morph they were 10 grand.

With the Het axanthic female, I'd find a het male to go with her. Het males are pretty easy to come by these days. I might even spring for an axanthic male or maybe even roll the dice with a pastel het axanthic. The last two options of course are going to cost you.

With the pastel female. On lower funds I'd go with either something like a ghost male or a co-dom of some type.

good luck

I guess I should have mentioned these are my brothers pets. I am the breeding nut. Lol. I'm trying to get him to breed something finally. He really just enjoys having them. He has a male ghost and two female het ghost as well as like a 3 or 4 big normal females. Plus a few boas and a carpet and some other stuff. Basically I'm asking if I could get him to breed what should he do.

You guys offered so good advice. I'm going to try to bring him to the dark side.

Good luck man I'm sure once he sees those little noses poking out of the egg he'll be hooked for life..:)

ya get a het male for the het female, and a pastel for the pastel!

Just breed what he (or you) want, don't chase that rabbit and you will be alot happier!

Has always been my method with any of the breedings and seems to work well for me.
