Special bp or Pied?

[Maddumpling]

Need some opinions on which ball python I should get. Should I get a special to produce pastel specials, crystals and specials? Or should I get a pied to produce pastel het pieds, mojave het pieds and pieds? Both morphs produce incredible babies and its hard for me to decide which one to get.

when i look at your signature, i see plenty of normal females and single gene females, even a nice female combo, but no nice double or triple gene male.

i would suggest a powerhouse male that will potentially produce 3 or 4 awesome clutches per year if you pair him up with 3 or 4 of your many females. right now you have an albino, pinstripe, and spider male, and 9 nice females. thats a lot of untapped potential.

i say you should get something like for example a killer spinner to produce lemonblasts and bees and spinner blasts and spinners and super pastels and pastaves and pewter bees and so on. with the stuff you have already, i dont see where you would go with either a special or a pied.

Pied for sure. No question.

Pied for sure. No question.

With your females/ het pied id vote the same. Mystic crystals are my favorite special combo but you dont have the pieces.

I personally love piebalds, they are so appealing looking to me. I would go with the pied.

Love pieds! That's my vote

I'd have to go with pied as well, but my actual answer to you is "go with your gut."

I agree with the multi gene male idea. You can get one for the same price as a pied.
