Decisions, Decisions (Update)

As you may recall, I was choosing between Baby 04, a colorful little girl, and Baby 09, who I am hoping might go dark red as she ages.

The previous voting was overwhelmingly in favor of Baby 09: she gathered 62.5% of the votes (15 of 24) and won all but one forum (a second forum was tied). This was in line with my thinking.

The post-shed picts, however, toss it back into the air for me:

Front


Top


Baby 04 clearly has the better color…but the real kicker is that she might be a better match to lock in the unique dual-orange color scheme of her father Picasso…

…whereas Baby 09 is still a tossup on whether she will go deep red.

Tough call, indeed I have to decide tonight, as a customer wants whichever I pass on!

Thank you, as always, for reading.

I think the one on the bottom in the second pic would get my vote.

The difference is so minute anyone of them would fit your plans, however I'd say I like the one coiled up in the 2nd pic.

I agree, the coiled one on the bottom in the second pic.

I like the one that's not all coiled up, I like the darker red background color.

Re: Decisions, Decisions (Update)

The post-shed picts, as well as an extra inspection in direct sunlight, swayed me at the last moment. Which probably means that B-09 will the supermodel of the two. ;-)
