Looking to buy my first BP

The only problem with reptile shows is lately I've been working weekends and my boss only posts schedules on a weekly basis so I won't know if I can go until the week of the shows. It'll be difficult to go to one but I'm gonna try my best to make it. NARBC in september looks like my best bet for a nice bp.

Can't you request a day off if you know the day of the show? Most places allow you the day off as long as you request it 2 weeks in advance.

Pastels are awesome, I have a female pastel and you can combine them with a ton of other morphs and the pastel gene only enhances it :D

I guess I can request a day off but I just started this job a few weeks ago and I don't want to make a bad impression by asking for a day off.

Well, what hours do you work weekends ?

Maybe, depending on your schedule, you can squeeze in a couple of hours at the show in your way to work or on the way home? Or perhaps instead of taking the entire day off, ask to come in an hour or two late so you can at least do a quick walkthrough.

I want to spend around $150 on this female and I was wondering what would be a good morph that can create some nice hatchlings. If I do breed in the future I plan on spending a lot more money on the male so I can create nicer looking morphs.
So basically what are some nice morphs that are priced around $150 that are pretty enough to be bred?

-Thanks

my friend selling a female 2months old i bought my male from him hes selling the female for 100 we're located in NY long island

If I were you, I'd save some money, and go with a beautiful morph.
Pastels are nice, but if you save $100 - $250 more, you can get an amazing snake.

I have the money for a more expensive morph, and thats always an option. But, for my first bp I'm not sure if I want to spend all that much

If youre seriously considering breeding, going that extra mile would be the way to go. If not, both normals and pastels are beautiful.

Actually even as a breeder a pastel female is a great way to start. Then he can save up and get an expensive male down the line. It's a much better investment to get a 2 or 3 gene male and a pastel female than the other way around.

I agree.
Pastels are great in combos
