    Which male should I get?

    I'm looking at getting a male and was at a EXPO yesterday and I was told I should get a dual morph male for my ladies. I believe that is the proper term (dual morph). But, my females are listed below and I was thinking about a Patave, Mojave Spider, or Jigsaw. I need some friendly/ expert advice!

    Re: Which male should I get?

    It's all up to you and what you want to be able to produce. The advice you were given was good though: if you get a male that has more than one morph, you can breed him to more than one female and thus have more possible morphs.

    If I were you I might go for a pastave, because you already have stuff in the BEL complex so you could go for BELs as well as add more morphs (think, a pastel BEL) or I might go with a jigsaw for the pin and you get the added mojave part as well. It's all a matter of taste.

    With what you've got I'd suggest probably getting something in the pewter genetics (pewter, sterling, silver bullet).

    Unless you are getting a near breeder size Pastave, I wouldn't recommend you get a 2 co-dom female. Instead I will get a 2 co-dom male as everyone said; how about a black mojo and a chance to hit both super black pastel mojo and BEL black pastel? Awsome....

    Why do you not recommend getting a co-dom female unless near breeder size? All of my females are Juvi's. Ranging from 190-260g. I was going to get the female co-dom just to add to my female collection. I don't plan on getting a male until this summer or beginning of next year. I'm just looking for ideas so I can start looking at who actually has all these different co-dom snakes! As far as the Black Mojo! I love that morph! That is why I want to have a Mojo for my Black Pastel. I was going to just get a male Mojo for all my ladies. But, all the advice I've been getting is leaning towards co-dom male with Mojo x?
