Yep. The sheer number of morphs makes it incredibly difficult to make a single choice. My first animals were recessive hets, and my first morph was a Pastel. Everybody has their own opinion on the best first morph, but I'm still of the belief that Pastels are the best. With the way prices are falling, you'll have alot more options when your girl is ready.

I like them all, so I go on what I can afford. :carrot:

well, wisconsin and minnesota are neighbors... maybe i could drive over and snakenap one of those mojaves...... :cool:

now your getting it, yep a mojave to a normal ( with good odds) will produce 1/2 normals and 1/2 mojaves. you could also produce all normals or a great number of mojaves so you never know but thats the fun in it.

Yes 50% Normals - 50% Mojave, but keep in mind those are odds and it all comes down to whether or not the Ball Python god is smiling upon you ;)

and also those numbers are the odds per animal not per clutch. You could get all normals or all Mojos also possible but not probable.

Oh this is so much fun haha I cant wait! But for now im just going to enjoy Hydra as my baby and start saving money! And sure Python Princess when they have babies, couple of years from now, ill let you know :D

woo hoo!!!:sunny: lol

hen i breed my male to a female, il oin to just pick a healthy female with a good temperment and healthy body etc. maybe a pastel or mojave but color is only secondary to me as they are all wonderful.

I do not think you could go wrong with:
a) a clean-patterned, spotless Spider male.
b) a nice, blushy Graziani Pastel Jungle male
c) a nice, blushy Mojave

Maybe for a beginning breeder, buy an already-proven-breeding male?
