    Help me decide!!!
    I currently have 4 ball pythons. A Normal, Pinstripe, albino and spider. I have a Orange Ghost & a Mojave on the way next week. I have room for 2 more ball pythons. Which one's would you recommend that isn't really to expensive. Here are the choices:

    Lesser Platinum

    Pewter

    Generic Stripe

    Bumblebee

    Carmel Albino

    Super Pastel

    Axanthic

    Cinnamon Pastel

    Which two do you think is worth getting if you were planning on getting two more?

    Depends I want every thing on that list so I say pick one and add till your done.

    some on that list cost as much as 2-3 of the others.

    Like you could get an axanthic and a Cinni for the price of a Pewter.

    Or a get a pair of Axanthics for the price of G-stripe

    so it depends on which way you want to go with your collection

    Yea i know some are over a $1000 and some are as low as $300. I'm looking at it as more as, I already have these set of balls that look like this (pinstripe & spider have the same color but different pattern). Now what can i get out of that list that look different and stand out than what i already own.

    I'd say based on your list of wants and judging from what you're already working with a super pastel would be a great addition, maybe a cinny to go with it to try for pewters yourself down the road. There's a lot of great combos that would be opened to you though with a super pastel.

    Personally, I would go with the Pewter & the Bumblebee or Super Pastel. Think about a pewter to bb breeding, with a chance for sterling bees right off the bat. You also wouldn't have to wait to produce pewters in order to do something of that nature. Definitely would go with the pewter and then the bee or super pastel, both of which are just genetic powerhouses.

    SHHHHHHHH That's my freakin DREAM PAIRING!. I'm hopefully going to either buy or hatch a pewter and a bb next year and the possibilities from that pairing have me giddy like a kid on christmas eve lol. That and my someday dream of trying for a silver bullet! Ahhhhhh..... It's the dreams that keep this hobby alive I swear lol.

    I'd go with the lesser and a super pastel. I like white snakes and super pastel just adds coolness to anything you breed it to.

    I am very new to all of this, but a Bumblebee is at the very top of my wish list! They are just amazing and the apparent combinations seem almost overwhelming!

    Then I would flip a coin for the next one on that list! :D

    Yea sterling bees wouldn't be anything short of straight hotness. I'm in the process of saving for a female pewter for my male pastel to go with and yes...dreams are what this hobby is made of.

    To the OP, this is definitely the cliche answer, but go with what you want. If you plan to add all of these at some point in time then well, go with what you can afford right now. Do what suits yourself. I was merely giving opinions on what I would do if affordable right now

    Turned ito a multiple choice poll you ;)

    Personnally based on what you have I would pick Lesser and Super Pastel as I believe they are must have ingredients making some of the coolest combos out there.

    But it is up to you, what you like, what you can afford and what you want to work with. ;)
