    Morph suggestions for someone who doesn't intend to breed
    So I've had my darling Eros for about a month now and I do believe I've been hooked. I'm looking into getting a second ball, and I know I want a morph, but I don't know exactly what kind of morph. There are just way too many options out there...I do not ever intend on breeding, and the subject of genetics just gives me a headache. This may sound ditzy but I simply want a "pretty" morph. Something significantly different...for example, to my untrained eye enchis and cinnamons look too "normal". Basically I'm looking for aesthetic variation and appeal. So far I'm thinkin pewter, but the price tag for a female has me holding back a little. Which brings me to my other question: generally speaking, how much bigger are your females than your males? I was originally hoping for a male, and I got my wish with Eros, but now I kinda wish I had a female just so I can marvel at her size one day.
    So to sum it up, what interesting morphs can you recommend? (Please dont say BEL or something that has a price tag of $1000+ those morphs are a far off dream for me xP) And are your females significantly more impressive size-wise in comparison to your males?
    I apologize if this thread makes me sound incredibly shallow lol...Blame the snakes for being such great eye candy

    If you never plan to breed, and you just want something pretty, I would go with a desert.

    how much are you wanting to spend? i think bumblebees are one of the sexiest morphs for under $500

    female desert stuff, because these cannot be used for breeding :) here males are expensive, but female deserts or even desert combos can be quite affordable.

    normally, the males are cheaper than the females.

    i dont know your price range, maybe an albino might be in your price range or a pinstripe.

    or you could, for a start, just look at older offers and more recent offers in this forum:

    there are many morphs and we dont know your taste, i guess only you can do the research :)

    Ull get more bang for your buck with a male..

    Whats your price limit ? I would have to agree with a bee or maybe a pied

    Echoing all that female Desert suggestions, there are tons with no place to go since they can never be breeding stock and they're definitely different from the average morph you see casual keepers buying.

    Also I think Cinnapins/Black Pinstripes are really lovely too, a nice step up from the standard Pinstripe but with that extra umpf!

    How come Deserts can't be bred? I thought all morphs were about was color and pattern, not sterility...
