    what kind of BP should I buy next?

    If you take the time to read this and leave your opinion, thank you!

    Well, we've been wanting another one for about 2 weeks, and since we are building the new enclosure for Sandy (our female normal) this weekend (melamine & Plexi) we were just going to buy the materials to make 2 and buy another. Heres where our problem comes in, Ive seen so many patterns and colors (cinn., caramel, butter, bees, ivory, spider) that its so hard to choose. Originally we were going to get a green tree python, but my other half no longer wants one. So Im trying to decide and its just driving me crazy.

    --Thanks for reading, and your thoughts

    ---Jamie

    Get one that your "other" likes. Sure fire way to grow your collection.

    If you want to breed one day, get a male.

    One day maybe, but no time soon. I wouldnt want anything to go wrong. Im paranoid when it comes to the care and well-being of those around me (human, animal, or reptile)

    If you plan on possibly breeding one day I'd recommend getting a female, that way if you decided to bred down the road you've already got older girls, then you'd just need to pick up a guy who can be ready in as little a 6 months from birth.
    But if you plan on keeping only 2 Ball Pythons, and one them being a morph I'd have to recommend a few of my favorites co-doms:

    The Mojave (left), The Black Pewter (crawling to the left), The Killer Bee (bottom middle), The Super Pastel (top middle), The Lesser (bottom right), and The Black Pastel (right)

    Gorgeous! (We need a close up of that killer; she is stunning!)

    What is your budget? That is a major deciding factor. If it's not an issue, I would go with a clown or champagne. Or, some new things like mystics or the platinum line. Definitely go with a woman. Lol.

    If your looking for less than $500, i would lean towards lesser/butter. Or fire. Those are some of my favorites. And both bring awesomeness to any table.
