Newbie here - which Ball morph...?

[Pickenprod]

Hello all, this is my first post to BP.net! I've been a reptile enthusiast for pretty much my whole life, and right now I have just one scaly pet - a wonderful little leopard gecko I've had for seven years. Recently I've been thinking about getting a ball python, just as a pet.

I've been looking at various morphs, and I can't seem to decide which one to get! They really are all beautiful in their own ways. I'd be looking for one priced $300 or under, but I've noticed that different breeders seem to price the same morph differently.

What I really want, though, is a morph with visible pupils - the wild type ones seem to have uniformly black eyes, but I think the ones with the pupils visible against a lighter background look so adorable. Does anyone have any recommendations for a bp morph with this type of eye coloration that isn't too expensive?

Many thanks!

Pastels have really nice eyes.

You can get a smokin' male for a good price. (all pastels are not created equal).

Wow, thank you all for the quick replies. I actually was considering a Pastel, I just wondered if there were any others. I think I will go with a pastel if I can find one with such green eyes - that sounds beautiful. That is, if I don't end up finding another "secondhand" reptile locally; I got my leo from someone who was bored with it.

My spider has lighter eyes than my pastel, my pastel's seems to be more in the darker side.

just like Danny said, spiders. my spider also has light eyes but i would have to compare to my pastel to see which one has them lighter....hmmm.

I really like the pastels, as does everyone else. Be careful with a spider purchase, just do your research and make sure it does not have a severe wobble. You could also look into a male orange ghost they are really nice and in that same price range.
