Help me pick my first morph

Banana Enchi... oh wait....:P

Lesser Platinum
Orange Ghost
Albino

0-500 get a bumblebee, lesser, mojave, albino, enchi, super pastel
500-1000 get a pastave, pewter
1000-5000 get a desert, champagne, pied, kingpin, clown

Thanks for all the responses everyone. To answer to commonly asked question, right now, my collection consists of two normals, one was free, other was 40$, so the wife would probably kill/maim me if i spent over 500$.

I like the look of the pinstripe, just wish i could get one with a color morph. ill check into the enchi and lessers.

Um... Ghost Mojave... my male was $500... best bang for $500 IMO

He has it all - Pattern AND Color morph, Visual Recessive AND Incomplete Dominant morphs.

Despite a few exceptions, enchis are a relatively subtle morph. Their value (to me) comes from the combo potential (color and pattern) as well as the fact that their colors look awesome even as adults, compared to other morphs that become "dull".

You like pinstripes? Get a lemon blast! Jinx has a fantastic lemon blast! Though it is het hypo which some people say will brighten up a morph ;), it's still a great example of the morph, and it is a good "par" to set when looking for a lemonblast :gj:.

You can get a lesser x pinstripe male for around $700, but I'm sure you can haggle for a better price :P. I don't really feel comfortable encouraging haggling, especially since some breeders get annoyed when people try to get good snakes for whole-sale prices :rolleyes:.. There are still some breeder who will be more than happy to come closer to your budget if you just let them know what your set limit is!

I would also like to suggest black pewters :gj:.. Silver and black as babies, and nice and grey as adults :bow:.

Long post.. sorry LOL. There's a lot out there :D

Oh, and as good as the Ghost Mojo looks in pics, he is even better in person. One of the most undervalued snakes in the business IMO.

Lemonblasts are cool, but is is actually pretty hard to find a nice one. Same for Enchis.

If you have $500 I would skip over single gene males. There are a handful of double gene fellas you could get for that. If you want a female, then you will likely have to stick with a nice single gene.
