I have been anticipating breeding a couple females this year... they are now plenty big enough, but I didn't find the male creamsicle like I was hoping, so I am facing waiting until next year or using a couple of my other males.

The first two are the female creamsicles, and below that are two of my males, snow and hypo motley, I would like to maximize the white in the first female, and the other creamsicle, I have no big expectations... any opinions? Wait? Snow with the white cream?

Also, I have heard about sperm retention in females, could they retain sperm from this years breeding and use next year if I use a different male?

Thanks for the opinions...

I would breed one to each.
The snow male to the whiter of the two creamsicles.
This will yield amelanistic emoryi/corns (creamsicles) het anery.
These will probably look more like typical amels then creamsicles but you may get a few nice orange specimens with contrasting lighter backgrounds.

Then the hypo motley to the other cream.
This will give you normal emoryi/corns (rootbeers) het amel het hypo het motley.
Breed these offspring together and you could get anything from normals to amels to hypos to sunglows to motleys to hypo motleys to amel motleys
