Worthy - Not Worthy?

This is one of two males I held back from last year's pairing
of a hypo harlequin and an albino.

The other one doesn't have the same kind of color but he has the
thick, irregular saddles that I like & his eyes are reddish.
I'm not sure about this one. He's pretty dirty, but he might help
produce colorful sunglows.

I do see a lot of pink hiding under all those baby grays!

I had a similar situation with my hypo harli litter back in '06, two males, one with better pattern/saddles and super clean but not much color, the other was dripping in color but pattern was more typical and has speckles.. I could only keep one and I kept the guy with the color. I am so glad I did because he's all shades of awesome pink and purple now. So... I vote, he's worthy.

Thanks, it looks like I'm going to end up using another room as
my second boa room so I'll keep him for the time being. I might
have 7 pregnant boas right now. This summer is going to be wild.

If you have any pics of that boa you kept as a baby and an adult
I would really LOVE to see them.
