I was doing some thinking and realized that a lot of thought goes into pairing snakes but what is the thought process behind those pairings? The most prominent example I could think of is the idea of making snakes that the breeder in question personally likes or what is currently big within the industry but both are generally based on what already exists and what has been done before.
On the other side of the spectrum, there are breeders who actively think on what would look good together. What I mean by that is that, they make a combo, either by accident or on purpose or as a test run, and then they think about what else could be added to that particular combo that would bring it to the next level.
If you got a new morph that no one has ever seen before, what decides what you put it with first? One thing I've noticed is that when a new morph shows up, the first thing people do is put it to pastel. I'm not entirely sure why, but it seems to be a thing I've noticed.
I guess the question is, what are your reasons or thought process behind the pairings you choose. Is it because you just like the possible combos, have a specific project in mind, or are you merely just experimenting?
