    you should think about getting a super pastel female, and a spinner male. you'll make no normals that way.

    Well, to get into bees, you'd need a pastel and a spider. Or you can just outright buy a bee for about $400...

    Really, figure out what morphs you want to work with and decide how you want to do it. Do you want to start with babies and raise them up to breeding size, or are you looking to pick up breeder size snakes to put together next season? Are you looking to buy single gene morphs and breed them over several seasons to produce the multi-gene combos yourself? Or are you looking to pick up some dual or multi-gene snakes to make higher end combos?

    ooooo! You've got a good budget to get into some cool stuff =]. You can actually go out and buy several bees with that budget lol. Or you can get a killerbee and have some left over for something else =p. Could you be more specific of what exactly you want, and what you want to produce? :gj:

    Get a super pastel female and try for the killer bee. Probably cheaper to get a female bee and a male super pastel though.

    My advice is to go to www.worldofballpythons.com/wizard and have some fun. Start with a male spider pastel on the left, then pair it to several hypothetical females to see what morphs you really like, then go from there. Killer bee is one option, sure. But there are SOOOOO many combinations you can make, and I can't say I've ever seen a spider combo morph I didn't like...

    You may want to ask a mod to combine your two threads in one forum or the other...

    Merged the two threads to avoid confusion. One thread per topic. ;)
