Welcome! The good news for your ball python genetics learning curve is that your first potential pairings are about as easy to understand as any pairings ever.

With your normal female in the pairing, you'll never end up with anything more than the gene(s) you start out with in the male:

• Male Spinner (Spider x Pinstripe) = 25% Spinners, 25% Spiders, 25% Pinstripes, 25% Normals
• Male Super Lemon Pastel (Lemon Pastel x Lemon Pastel) = 100% Lemon Pastels

In terms of what would be best, that's completely up to you. You'll be the one needing a plan to take care of the potential babies in the event that you run into issues selling them. You're certainly not going to get rich (not even close) with either of these pairings, so make sure to do it for the love and experience of doing so.

Having said all of that, the Spinner male will give you the most diverse looking offspring.

Thank you for your information I am only breeding to get more babys I plan on keeping every single one I just wanted to try a hand at breeding next year and I think I will give it a go with the male spinner tbh I can only try breeding isn't for everyone and I have always wanted to try :p

If you are going to keep all the babies I'd suggest the spinner as well since you'll get the most variety in the hatchlings. Careful though...breeding is addictive! Heehee. Good luck!
