    2 Males:Mojave and Pinstripe..what morph to pair with them?

    Hi all!
    I just got my first clutch of eggs about 3 days ago from my dinker female! She was bred to a mojave and a pinstripe and I am probably going to keep one of her babies for future breeding projects. I am also planning on purchasing another breeder female to pair with my 2 males. What morph would be best to pair to a mojave and a pinstripe to produce highly valuable babies? I was thinking of getting either a lesser or another mojave female to get a 25% chance of getting a blue-eyed lucy. Any thoughts?

    Go with the Lesser. Quality Kingpins still bring good money.

    Mystic or Phantom (same thing). Go for potions and mystic pins.
    Lots of BPs, and still not enough!

    I'm a hobbyist..at most. I've always taken a liking to ball pythons. It would (or will) be rather exciting to produce such treasured babies from a pair that's not as paramount to the eyes of breeders.

    you could also wait and see what hatches, maybe you get some single-gene females. then you could hold these back, and continue the same pairing until they grow up.

    and then buy a double-gene or triple-gene male.

    in my eyes, breedings of single-gene male to normal female, for 50% single gene hatchlings and 50% normals, and also breeding single-gene to single-gene, for 25% double-gene hatchlings, 50% single-gene hatchlings, and 25% normals, are not really attractive. it just takes ages until you start producing combos with higher numbers of genes.

    if you just keep breeding what you have, and hold back female mojaves and pinstripes you get, in the meantime save up some money, and then buy a triple gene male hatchling one year before your first single-gene females mature, that may be a faster way to get to more advanced 3-gene and 4-gene stuff.

    just to make sure: right now you have a male pinstripe and mojave, and a female normal/dinker, and one mystery clutch of eggs that may contain pinstripe or mojave or both. or are there other BPs you didnt mention?

    anyway, i would just wait and see what hatches first. lets say you luck out and get pinstripe females and mojave females, that would change things. then there will be your first time of selling hatchlings. which may work well and add a few dollars to your budget for your next purchase, or it may turn out to be very difficult and you might want to slow down, and just hold back one or two females and work with what you have for a little longer.

    about what morphs to buy..... limitless options. i would first get the basic codominants and dominants covered, pinstripe and mojave are good, other important ones would be spider, enchi, pastel, black pastel, lesser/butter, yellowbelly, mystic/phantom, fire. then you can decide to go for a recessive, like piebald or hypo or albino or axanthic or clown, or if you want to go deeper into a specific gene complex, like ivory/puma/super stripe, or BEL/potions/jigsaws.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    2 Males:Mojave and Pinstripe..what morph to pair with them?

    If I were starting out and had mojo and pin in the collection I'd get a Killerbee then a couple recessives.

    Killerbee gives you some power and Spider also.

    Also hard to beat a bad arse Killerbee you'll love opening that tub.
