morph pairings for possible breeding options

[Craiga 01453]

Hey all,
I have a male Vanilla het Pied who I am considering breeding at some point. It would be my first time trying to breed my snakes and I'm not even positive it's something I will definitely try. I will definitely do plenty of homework and preparation before making a decision.
Anyway...I'm going to a reptile show this weekend and am going to be thinking about bringing a female home as a possible breeding partner for my male Vanilla het Pied. Any suggestions on morphs that breed well with Vanillas? And if I'm lucky, some Pieds somewhere down the line?
Thanks in advance for any info you care to share.

When I'm thinking about pairings, I go onto Morphmarket or Kingsnake and filter through the traits I'm thinking about. For instance, I'd go onto Morphmarket and just browse through all the vanilla combos and see if there's any that catch your eye. Or super vanilla combos. Or mix and match with pied combos (het pieds aren't that expensive if you wanted to try for it).

I'm a fan of the spider combos, so I like have vanilla cleans/brightens the bee morphs. But that's my preference.

Thanks! I have been looking at different combos and different morph calculators and have found some that I really like. I do like how the vanilla works with spiders and pinstripes to lighten them up. I was just hoping to pick peoples brains a bit and see what other people like. Also good to learn all I can.

I'm actually watching my Vanilla shed as we speak. Pretty cool to catch his first shed with me!

Any combo het pied female would be interesting, but I think a fire het pied or an enchi het pied would be especially cool.

Thanks!! I usually love just about anything Enchi. Enchis are actually towards the top of my list, regardless of whether I breed her or not, I'd still have a gorgeous addition to the family.

I've seen a lot of Vanilla Pieds, most say they are 'possible vanilla' because you really can't tell... I'd mix in some Fire and make 'Vanilla Cream' (Vanilla + Fire) It's an obvious combo. Personally I'd pick up a Super Fire, the babies would be either Vanilla Cream or Fire (no normals).

Thanks!! The Vanilla Cream is definitely a popular choice.
