    What to breed to a normal?

    So I just found out that the first snake I ever got is a female. Normal of course .

    I want to get into breeding, and as some of you guys might know, I purchased a bunch of females that I plan on breeding, but they're all babies right now. I like buying babies instead of adults . It's cheaper and I get to see a glimpse of what my offspring could look like .

    My question is, what would you breed to this normal? My current baby females are Calico, Enchi, Killerbee, and Pastel het clown. I really dig enchis and I think there's still so much to be done with both enchis AND calicos... Whatever the male will be, I'm hoping to get either a double co-dom male, or a male of either enchi or calico to hopefully produce more females (since you can never have too many )

    What do you guys think? What would you do? Do you have a better idea?

    Thanks =].

    EDIT: I forgot to mention o_O.. She's only 1300 grams, but she's an 08. I know some of you guys have older females that are around the same weight, but her small size is my fault. She wouldn't eat for so long when I first got her and I had no idea why... Then I found this forum and discovered that her 40 gallon fishtank wasn't the best idea ... Then I found out she had retained eye caps (which the forum helped me discover)... Then I was feeding her prey items that just weren't big enough.. Hoppers for a long time... Then finally adult mice for a longer time... So I made a ton of mistakes before finally getting her on track eating small/medium rats once every 7 days, and she's my favorite feeder !!

    Sorry, I forgot my pinstripe girl. She's about 800 grams right now.

    Depending on how much you want to spend I would go with an Enchi combo male. Enchi Pastel, Enchi Spider(Stingerbee) or Hypo Enchi.

    Good point. And really great suggestions. They're actually on my list of "maybes"

    I wouldn't say "sky's the limit". I think stingers and enchi pastels are hovering at the sweet spot. They're AWESOME looking and they have enchi <3..

    I was also thinking maybe clown male... For my normal to get some het clowns.. I have a buddy who loves clowns and I wouldn't mind hooking him up . And maybe also to breed him to the pinstripe when she's ready to go to get some awesome pinstripe het clowns! Maybe if I'm smiled upon by the Odds Gods (), I can keep a male pin het clown and hold him back for my pastel het clown for the future . Having a visual clown male in the collection would just be fantastic! Just thinking out loud... stirring my creative juices...

    Either a Super form of something, so you don't get any normals. Or A high end male and hope to reproduce him.

    I dont really want to only get a certain morph :p. i think pastel enchi really fits my plans even if i dont get a pastel enchi, I'd be happy with enchis!

    Just being able to successfully breed and hatch out cute tiny ball pythons would be awesome!!! THATS the holy grail to me in this hobby

    According to my preferences, I'd go along the lines of granite yellowbelly, granite fire, gargoyle/onyx, or a hypo combo.
