Best Starter Morph
So I'm curious to know, what do you guys think would be the best starter morph? I've got income tax coming in and I'm looking to start a very small breeding project, just to kind of get my feet wet if you know what I mean. Are there any morphs you can breed to a normal and get visuals from? I don't really want to spend an arm and a leg either just yet, I figure I will try out one breeding and see whether I can handle it or not, before I go crazy buying snakes and get in over my head. So any ideas?

Re: Best Starter Morph
pastel or yellowbelly would be a Great start. But the best would be het albinos, hypos etc..

Re: Best Starter Morph
You can breed Pastels,Spiders,Mojos are all good starter morps to breed to norms and get 50% morps in return:gj:

Re: Best Starter Morph
Nifty, so that'd be 50% visuals, 25% hets, 25% Normals?

Drat! I'm always forgetting that. But then, how did they get them in the first place?
Golly I have a lot to learn.

Wild caught animals from Africa that looked different and were subsequently bred to normals to "prove them out" to be a genetic morph.

Re: Best Starter Morph
I'd go with a female pastel cause they can be gotten for relatively small amounts of money. I would also add to that a spider or mojave male; again, both can be had for a relative pittance! ;)

Re: Best Starter Morph
I'm seriously leaning towards a Mojo...I'd love to produce a BEL down the line. Although I like Spiders too...maybe I'll get one of each. It's so hard to pick!

Re: Best Starter Morph
All of those are dom or co-dom. If you were to get one male that ended up breeding later, you could breed to multiple normal females for some beautiful snakes! Also, depends on how low cost you really wanted to go, but pastel would always be the cheapest. Good luck!
