New need collection assistance :D

Hey everyone I need a bit of help starting off my collection, ive always wanted to have ball pythons now i have the chance and the room to start a collection. I got my 1st snake a month ago I thinks it is a male normal but he looks a bit liek a vanilla. But I need help with what morphs i sould start off my collection with to make some gems like all of you. I know a bit about crossing morph and what comes out and some times it takes 2 of the same morph to make super or different morph.
But what should i get? im getting a male and female normal so i can make more morphs when i buy them but what ones? im thinking Mojave, Vanilla, Pastel, Axanthic but what do you recomend.

i like pinstripes to

ive seen pinstripes they are amazing but is that a dominate gene? or recesive? i was told with some snakes i need pair i think those are ones i was told of.

start with the morph you like the most.

see im not sure what is a base morph to start with, i keep reading about how theres normal or base morphs and some morphs are resessive and some are designer so i dont know where to start. all i have is a normal male and i dont know what to get ot start of with, i dotn want to find out i got a designer morph and breed it to a normal to get it and normal babies only yo get all nomals out of it. id love them all the same still but id like to not make a mistake in the start.

Yes its dom just like the mojo. The pastel u mentioned is co-dom along with vanilla i do believe. Axanthic is recessive.

Well mojo is codom too.

Here is how it goes you have dom = spider, pinstripes.
codom = pastels, mojo/lessor/butter
recessive = albinos and Axanthic

not all by no means just a few common ones you might see when looking around. the doms have a 50% chance of showing up when bred to a normal. the codoms have a 50% chance when bred to a normal. codoms also have a 25% chance of producing a super form when bred back to the same morph. recessive when bred to a normal will produce all normal snakes that are 100% het for the morph. a het bred back to the morph will produce 50% visuals and 50% morphs. just do a little more reading and you will find out a bunch.

So should I start with dom and codom morphs? and avoid recessive for now because those require a pair to get the same morph or i need a HET right?

well what are you looking to do just make new morphs or what. what kind of morphs do you like to start with?

Up to you

Correct me if im wrong guys?

Recessive

het x het = 25% visual, 50% hets, 25% normals (so its 66% pos.het Morph) because u dont know the diff between hets/normals for most things?

Het/Visual = 50% visual, 50% hets

Visual/Visual = All visual

Now with dom

Visual/normal = 50% visual, 50% normals

visual/visual is 75% spiders, 25pct normals?

And like for co dom like pastel u can do

Visual/normal = 50% visual, 50% normals

visual/visual = 50% pastel, 25% super pastel, 25% normals

Correct guys?
