What is your long term goal?

This will help you answer which to get first.

Or just say the he!! with it and buy them both.

You do understand the genetic differences between the 2?

And no I dont mean that one is an albino and one is a spider.

Welcome. I just wanted you to know you asked a loaded question. Please let us know what fits you best.

1) Just want a perdy snake dont care how much it costs

2) Want a perdy snake, dont have money now, but willing to start a project for the next 5 years to attain said purdy snake.

3) Show me the money, but I only have less than $XXX to spend right now.

4) Show me the money, and I already got alot of it I am willing to spend.

well, it all depends on what you want to spend, to say what to get, both are fairly expensive.
Personally I love albinos though!

I have the money to buy either one. but i only need one. I'm looking to breed either one. I like the spider more but I know the genetics of it. I'm not new. I'm stuck on two great snakes that I need some insight on what would most people do. If i go with a spider female will mostly be a pet than breeder. thank you for your time

My suggestion is always to buy whay appeals most to you. However, if it something that you are trying to make some money on, I hope you are aware that breeding the albino will only give you normal LOOKING babies het for albino, and breeding the spider gives you the chance of geting spiders from being bred to just a normal.
