    I think everyone can agree that you should get what you like ;)

    What kind of morphs do you enjoy?
    Light morphs? Dark morphs?

    That would be a good starting point :D

    looking more towards lights. And yeah im sure i will get what i like. but i figured i would reach out to people who know more than i do to get different perspectives. You all know more about breeding and things like that so im all ears lol

    I would get 2 females if I were you (if you are getting younger snakes, which are cheaper), because they take about twice-ish as long to grow to breeding size. You can always add males down the line.

    Well, I'm a sucker for bumblebees, lessers, butters and enchi's.

    I assume that you want your Pastel to be your male, so I would go for 2 or more females.

    If you want, you could get any of those, or a 2 gene morph.
    Other recommendations would be fire and mojave.

    Those are just my opinions though :)

    I agree with 2 females. Depending how much you want to spend, id definitly go Enchi. Either Combo or straight up. And a Bee would be a good second choice as they are about the same price as an Enchi. But id say Kingpin or Pewter also!

    2 females for sure.
    Some light morph suggestions that go very well with pastel: lesser/butter, enchi, fire, a pastel combo.
