Starting out with Morphs
Hi Bp.net! I've been lurking around for awhile and finally decided to join I have a general question about starting out breeding. Using co-dom morphs, I was wondering which would be a better way to start, using male morphs to breed to a bunch of normal females or use a normal male and breed to a bunch of female morphs? Thanks in advance guys and girls!

I would not use a Normal male for anything other than a Pet if you are seriously considering breeding.
If you are starting out, Normal females and Morph males are the most economical way to do it.

Welcome to the site. 
If you are just starting your collection, I would look into getting hatchling morph females and save up for a nice male to breed to them.
It is more economical to get a male morph and breed it to a bunch of female normals, but if you want a jump start on any project you are planning female morphs with a nice male is the way to go. You don't need to get the male the same year that you get females since males will be ready to breed much sooner.

Re: Starting out with Morphs
my plans are to get 1 male, and 2-3 female yellowbellys, take an ivory (assuming theyre produced) from each mom, and breed them together to get all ivorys to sell to invest in other morphs

if your budget is low, pick up a couple normal breedable females (or even some girls that'll be ready to go next year), 1-2 baby-juvy visual males and a couple baby girls to raise up. If budget is higher, pick up some sub-adult visual females or even full grown breeder girls (if you can find any that meet your requirements) and some juvy or sub-adult visual males and let the scales fly.
If goal is some major 3+ gene babies, it'd be better in the short run to go with the visual females up front, as it'll cut your time down. If time isn't that much of a factor and you'd be happy with 2 gene animals, get the normal girls, keep back some visual girls and raise em up. Or just buy some visual baby girls and wait for them to get older before getting a male.

I don't see the logic. In order to produce an Ivory, Super YellowBelly, both the male and female need to have the yellow belly trait. So unless you plan on using a Yellowbelly male produced from the clutches, you wont see Ivories. So you are going to have another 2 years after all of those start breeding till you see any Ivories.

they probably mean that the male is also a YB. it does look like its meant that just the females are YBs but he probably meant to say the male was also.
