Re: Best starter morph?
well i really think peids are a strong investment and you can pick up a decent size pair for less than that. honestly if it were my choice id get a double het albino pied male, (eassily found for 300$), and a 07 het pied female (around 700$) and work ur magic on some poss double hets plus maybe a visual pied or two. since single morphs are becoming more and more popular i think its wise to invest in some double morphs, or things of the such, for other breeders doing the same. i have 6 eggs from het piedX50% het caramel im going to have fun with real soon lol. its a long shot but at least i know ill get some poss het pieds.

Re: Best starter morph?
after thinking about it a bit more, I'm considering a recessive trait morph (or 100% het), some poss hets for same trait and a dom/codom.
probably something like this:
1.0 axanthic (100% het axanthic)
0.4 50% poss. het axanthics
0.1 spider
that way I can prove out the poss hets the first year while getting some spider poss het axanthics as well. then if any of the females prove out, I could take the spider poss hets and breed them to the proven females (if there's any males) by the next year to 2 years and get some axanthic spiders.
within the following years I could also invest in some pastels, pinstripes, or otherwise and breed them to the axanthic spiders for say bumblebee 100% het axanthic.
I will, however, have to keep in mind that the recessive traits need to be from compatible lines.
thanks for all of your guys' and gals' input. can't wait to get to these upcoming expos :)

Re: Best starter morph?
I say go with either an albino and het albinos, or a codom / simple recessive, like a pastel ghost.

Re: Best starter morph?
You could buy 1.0 spider and 0.1 pastel and you'll get a varied clutch!
