Well it is that time of year again. Full of excitement and promise, but also full of tough decisions about which snake breeds with who. I've got most of my lineup straight, but have one decision I've been pondering for the past 6 months, and it is still driving me nuts. So now you get to help me decide.
My amel stripe is ready to go this year. I have a sneaking suspicion she may be het for caramel, but I could be really wrong about that. My initial pick for her was an opal. Amels double het for opal stripe would be niiiiiiiice.
What I am leaning toward now is an amber. Quad hets will be a headache, but I do love getting a 'variety pack' when eggs hatch! Mmmmm butter & amber stripes in 2006-7 (maybe). And if she really is het caramel, well that makes things a bit easier.
Finally I could use a caramel motley, het butter. That would give me more interesting things in the first generation (normal & amel motley-stripes), but I am worried about being able to seperate the stripes back out again in later generations.
That's my saga. Any input would be appreciated. She just shed so I'll have to decide in the next couple days.
Thanks!
