Re: $2500 to spend, what morphs
I'd get a lesser I wouldn't get a pair of mojaves, I'd get some other co-dom morph you can breed your lesser too. Just my:2cent:
Re: $2500 to spend, what morphs
Tim, if you look around you could swing a male lesser and a female mojave for that $2500.00 you should consider good female pastels also. :)

Re: $2500 to spend, what morphs
i dont know if anyone has mentioned this but i would pick up a pair of het pied.. you could prob get a deal under 2000 if you looked real good. its not a quick rewarding purchase but i would love to see what happens in the long run.. maybe even have them throw in a hatch male mojave for 500 if you buy all 3 from the same person. i dont know.... just my thoughts. whatever you do make sure you search until you are stunned by the deal you find.. dont settle. i almost learned that one the hard way lol :D
Re: $2500 to spend, what morphs
My crazy possible-future project would be cinnies; I dream of producing a super cinny that's solid black/brown!
That aside.. albinos all the way IMO. Since you don't like Pieds, (I was gonna suggest hets.) how about 1.1 albino.. or an orange ghost and some hets..
Argh! It is too limitless..
Or you could focus squarely on a lower-priced morph (like Spider..) Buy a male and as many normal females as you can afford, and just do spideys and normals.. might be a little more profitable if you think about it.. selling (let's say..) 12 spiders and 12 normals, versus a few more expensive visible morphs gleaned from a male and hets..

You do have a point, but from a business stand point, the lesser will be more profitable for the future. Everyone and their grandmas has worked/is working with albinos and everyone knows what an albino this and that look like. Lessers are still untapped resources in the world of breeding.
I am taking this second job just to buy certain snakes, I am still planning on buying 20 hatchlings to raise up myself so normal females will not be a problem. Add that to the 10 normals I already have, each of which are over 700 g.
Re: $2500 to spend, what morphs
I didn't think of it that way.. I would just suggest you to go with your gut. When you see "that" animal that you just need to have, run with it. :) This is what I do.. if I never make a penny in profit and lose money, I don't care.

Lessers are getting pretty common now. I would bet you could find a nice pair of lessers by the end of the season for your $2500. I bought a nice female in October for $1600 and I assume the price will keep coming down. If I were you I would get a male lesser and a female pinstripe. The kingpins are nuts.

This is not about money, but I don't want to work with albinos since SO many people have and still work with them. I want something different and lessers are definitely my final answer!

although everyone who is big on BP's knows about all the mophs with albino's... if you are looking to turn snakes quicker and make some moeny i think albino is the way to go because the public is more out to spend their money on that type of morph than anything else... but if its more on general intrest i love lucys!
i missed the portion on you not wanting pied sorry.
