What Morph To Get???
I have a normal female that I got from a reptile show last year. I know she's not old enough to breed yet, but I'm wanting to go ahead and get a male so I'll be ready in a couple years. Plus, I'd rather get the male as a baby so he can be handled often (we have 5 kids and don't want an aggressive snake). The male that I want to get would actually be my 7 year old's pet to keep in his room. What's good morph to start with and breed with a normal? Here is a picture of my female....

Re: What Morph To Get???
It all depends on what you want to make and how much money you wanna spend .
a lot of base morphs you can get for $300 and under, and combos will increase in price as they get more exotic. Since you've got a normal, if you want more 'immediate' results, you may want to get something that is dominant or co-dominant, because a recessive won't breed a visible morph with a normal.
0.1 normal - Constantine  , 0.1 Spider - Lilu
3.0 doggies -Charlie (rottweiler), Luke (golden retriever), Dallas (german shepherd)
1.0 Betta fish - Norris
1.0 Rat - Forrest (R.I.P Mook and Milo)
1.0 frenchman

I would probably choose a double co-dom morph, such as a bumble bee (pastel spider) or a lemon blast (pastel pinstripe), so you can get several different morphs in the first generation when bred to a normal female.

I would also suggest a double gene BP. I'll be getting a Bee for my Pin, that way I won't have any normals in the clutch. Keep in mind though, hatchling/very young BPs are actually more "nippy" than most older BPs. They tend to be more likely to strike until used to handling. It is their instinct, I suppose.

I wish this was the case 
Bee X Pin still gives you a 12.5% chance at a normal.
OP: I'd suggest a double too, maybe a pastel yellowbelly male
