Absolutely! Otherwise, down the road you will find yourself still wanting some other morph, and at that point, getting another snake. Oh who am I kidding, you are going to fall head over heels in love with them, and within a year will probably have more of them anyhow.....:D

Pffft. I already know I'm getting more. When I built my rack, I included space to add more tubs. I know it is coming. There's no doubt about it. XD

A pinstripe was my first BP. I just thought they looked amazing and are one of my favorite morphs.

I prefer Black pastels to Cinnamons.
Black Pastel!

I love those black pastels too! The pinstripes are nice too, but I am a sucker for darker morphs.

What's the difference between the black back and non? I mean, as far as colors are concerned. Do the regulars end up much lighter? Or just the same just with the spots on the back?

Personally, when it comes to cinnamons, they should be lighter. The dark markings should be closer to the color of cinnamon. Especially the top of the head... It's black pastels that should have very dark, shiny black markings.
Both can have a black back pattern but it's more common with cinnys. The black back pattern shows a more solid pattern along the spine, less spotting along the spine, and more blushing is apparent in that pattern.. It just looks nicer to me, and the majority of cinny lovers I believe.

Ah. I found one with spots on his back and I honestly like it better. XD Maybe one of the odd few. I think he might be the one. :3

The only advice I have is buy a FEMALE! When I was about to buy my first BP, somebody on this site recommended buying a female (even though they were a bit more expensive) because if I ever wanted to breed, I would already have a close to breeding size girl. I thought, no way I'll ever breed, I just want one pet snake. Well, I was very wrong. I just picked up a female for my male pastel, but now I have to wait three years to breed! :( Also, when you buy a female first, the morph male you buy later will be a good bit cheaper than a morph female! Best of luck, and if you are really wanting to treat yourself, go for a double gene female that you like, like a bumblebee, firefly, fire spider, or lesser spider. These are some awesome combos that will put you back 400-800 bucks, but are stunningly beautiful, and genetically strong animals should you decide to breed. As for who to buy for, you can't go wrong with Garrick Demeyer at royal constrictor designs. I got my first ever snake from him, and he has never missed a meal or struck at me! Hope you find your perfect BP!

Yeah, I used to breed my corns, so I'm sure after a handful of years I'll want to start BPs, so I did look for females at first. But I really found nothing that I'm interested in. We plan on buying more later, or next year, so I'll probably at least make sure they are females. I went ahead and got what I think is this gorgeous male. Nice cinnamon-like colors that blend well. And I'm already studying up on what types to pair him with, so for now I can just skim leisurely until I find something that I feel matches for him. It's all right I'll might have to wait another year longer for the female/s to mature. I don't plan on getting into breeding until I feel like I'm and expert at basic care.
We're buying a house next year, so after that I can start building them bigger racks and hatchling racks. I can start gathering up more stuff because we'll have the space to put it, because I plan on making sure we can at least have a small room to put everything.
