im still trying wats the worst that can happen a clutch of only mojaves or lessers lol

I think you should get these balls:
-Albino
-Cinnamon
-Spider
-Pastel
-Ghost

Those are great morphs to start out with, and they are all under 1k so you save some money to get supplies and the enclosure if you haven't already. Anyway, just saying those are some great morphs that are just beautiful. I, personally, like the albinos, cinnamons, and spiders.

everyone's giving some great ideas. while I am looking for a quick return for my investment to fund future pairings, I am also looking at the long term. I'll look more into the financial aspect on a per morph basis to see what's kept value and what's fluctuated. I'll also be taking into consideration the future combos I'd like to be making. Plenty of pairings I'd like to try with a pied (just like the rest of you lol) as well as enchi, spiders, pins, spinners, etc.

really looking at the wonderful combos and have some interesting ideas for when I'm well established.

with the upcoming expos in august and october in the NW, I might find myself with a few additions ^^

looking to get a few breeder size normal females and a bumblebee male probably. that, or take the more risky route with poss het females, 100% het male first year and then grow my collection the following year adding in spiders/pins/granites for combos.

still have time though so the plan continues to change and take shape ^^

KEEP EM COMING! XD

I would get a Super Pastel or a Bumblebee to pair off to normal females.

Bumblebee would be my pick as well. When I first started 2 years ago I spent 5000 on full grown breeders and made my bumblebee. He is the reason I got into ball pythons. Anything with a spider in it I want. Good luck..... let us know what you end up doing.

With $1000 I would save up a little bit more, try to get an '09 female pied and ask them to throw in a male het.
OR
You could get a female ghost or albino and maybe a spider and/or pastel male and breed them both to her and start projects?

If you have 1k to spend get a few Mojaves and yellow bellies. Should be able to get a pair of each

Female Lesser!! Then no matter what happens you know your're well on your way to hatching some of your own BEL's.

Since we got a thread on it, I'd like some input on my starting collection. I haven't bred anything yet, just trying to get a good foundation.

1.1 pastel (male is ready to breed, female is only 250g now)
1.1 mojave (male is only 200g, female 300g)
0.1 spider (she is at around 900g)
1.0 ghost (480g)
0.5 normal (3 nearing the 1400g mark, two around 900g)


I am a big fan of all of them, but I've been thinking of maybe selling the ghost for an enchi or cinnamon or something. Any thoughts on that? But I know down the line ghost bumble bees and ghost pastels and pastaves would be quite cool. Just any advice on what males and females would be best to add would be appreciated.

Nice collection so far! If it was me and i was selling the ghost to go with a co-dom or dom morph, it would have to be a female and most likely a pinstripe.
