Beginning Breeder picking out 1 Male and 4 Females, what would you suggest?

Cost is really not the issue, but like anyone else I would like to get the most bang for my buck. Any particular combinations you would chose coming out of the gate.....Thanks

This question comes up a lot and I think the answer is pretty universal. It really depends on what you like and want to make. Take a look at the world of ball pythons morph list and go from there. The number of morphs and mutations are vast, so you could feasibly go in so many great directions. I would say pick your 4 females up first as they take longer to mature than males.

As stated above this question is always asked and the same answer given its all personal preference.

Thank you for your response, but these are all cookie cutter answers. Give me some meat. Like for example - I was thinking of a Male Bumblebbe mated to a Pastel andto a Cinnammon and to a Fire and to an Enchi. Would you do a different combination or ??

If you want an answer other than the universal "it all depends on what you like and morphs you want to create" i'll just say that you should get some double gene females if money is not an issue. Some suggestions are bumblebee, spinner, lemon blast, pastel yellowbelly, blue eyed lucy, super pastel.

Go with the $1-3k base morphs....get a better return rate.

Questions like this are always going to get cookie cutter responses. There are too many possibilities out there especially with cost not being a limitation. I would honestly aim for some super females (such as a killer bee, BEL, Super cinny/black pastel) and a super nice male.

Honestly If you want a 4 some to breed with the most possibilities on return, I would pick up desert ghost, and desert ghost combos and find a really high end desert ghost combo male to pair them with in a year....The three females will cost you between 3-5k apiece but hey you said money is no object right?:D

Breed something that 100,000 other people are not breeding, the morphs you list puts you right smack in the middle of the most over bred morphs out there(except enchi).

If cost isn't an issue...:P
