Ok so here's the deal...

We have this girl right here...

an 07' Spider Female who is already up to 1300g's and knocking on 1400g's door! She's growing an a phenomenal rate and we have decided we're definitely gonna go for some bees...

Here's the potential males we have to breed to her... Most are producing sperm and are in great shape for breeding... A couple may be ready in the next couple of months but are putting on size at a great rate and pounding their rats without a hesitation!


Option #1. 2007 Albino Male - 400g's+ Producing Sperm now...

Option #2. 2007 Orange Ghost/Hypo - 450g's+ Producing Sperm now...

Option #3. 2008 Mojave - 175g's - Has some growing to do but the way he's eating he should be up to size in a few months and we have a fairly late season here in FL. So not out of the question...

I think we already know what we want to do... But at the same time I figured I'd go ahead and get an idea as to what others would do if they were in our position...



Any opinion's are welcome and appreciated....Thank you! :)

I'd do the Albino Spider project or the Honey Bee project...But that's just me...

Nice choices!

Orange Ghost all the way.

Nice choices!

Ya IMO it's not a bad problem to have in not knowing which to choose...

Ya both are bada$$ projects to work on... just hard to decide whether to go recessive or codom... I know later on down the road I'd probably be happier if I did choose recessive... but that's what's kinda fun if we breed the black pastel... we would hopefully get a double codom visual but also have the fun of having the poss het in there as well...


Decisions... Decisions...

that's what i'd do.
but it's all opinion,

very nice pictures

that's what i'd do.

I think you will regret not going recessive...The Mojave Spider is cool but not extreme enough IMO...The Mojave Bee is really hot but the Mojave Spider alone - Nah...I'd do the Albino Spider project...Just look at big boss man Larry with his Lav Albino Spider project - Now if you got the bucks that'd be a hot one to chase...

I'd go with whatever project YOU want to work on the most. If that's a codom, cool.. If recessive, cool too. If they were mine, I'd probably use that sweet black pastel and hope to prove out some of the babies. That's just me, though. I like the bumblebee project as well, with that pastel already being proven.

The albino spider project would be neat. If you were gonna go with the OG, I'd pair him with the spider and a pastel so you can go for some humblebees eventually.

I'd throw the het pied black pastel at her :)

I really like the honeybee, so I would go with the ghost.

I like honeybees, but I love blk pastel anyting..!! So I would prolly put your triple ringer blk pastel 100% het pied boy on her.. But thats just me.!! Or you could get a lesser. Lesser bees are freakin smokin..
