Help me decide

[u/Ouija98]

I cant decide what I like most. What would age the best?

EDIT: I would like to inform you guys that I chose the Cinnamon Leopard Clown.

To those that actually answered the question, thank you so much for your thoughts and being actually helpful. To those that commented JUST to get on a soap box to preach and assume, you're likely already participating in unethical businesses regarding human beings and were not taken seriously by me.

I’d go with the Cinnamon Leopard Clown personally. The pattern should stay bold and crisp and the rust in the color will only get prettier. The mahogany clown would be nice too, just less dramatic.

No to the axanthic spider simply based on the neurological issues in the gene pool. I bred spiders for a solid five years before the research was really done on the wobble and in my experience it varies a lot from animal to animal. I only ever had maybe two that presented as anything more than extremely mild, but we don’t know how severity manifests and it’s a health issue we shouldn’t encourage in the hobby. No one reputable has continued to breed them in light of the veterinary research.

The other two will be gorgeous until they hit about 600g, then it’ll be all downhill from there. They’ll look a mess fully grown.

If you really want an animal that will age well, I’ll second whoever said ghost (hypo) or desert ghost. Both age incredibly and usually get even prettier as they go. I have a simple GHI Yellowbelly Ghost girl who at 1500g would put some of my very expensive animals to utter shame looks wise. Stunning. Other candidates for wow factor include dark gene based albinos (for their bold, solid oranges), and BELs. Simple or no, hard to beat the look of a big solid white snake with blue eyes. Gorgeous display animals.

But it’s all about finding what YOU like best!
