    Joe has the right idea.

    All of my pythons I've bought for one of two reasons: 1) I think that particular morph is beautiful or 2) a combo I can make with said python is beautiful. And then I went out and tried to get the prettiest examples of each morph I wanted. Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I don't care if someone else thinks my snake is ugly.

    So my recommendation is to get a morph and/or combo you like (preferably females, since you're male-heavy) and get the best/prettiest example you can find. However, if you want a specific example, with the snakes you already have, I'd definitely go with a nice Pewter, if you like those.

    if you only buy animals that are "worth" having in your collection then your overhead will be significantly lower than your profits. i.e. instead of having a bunch of single morph males, get double codoms, codom+ hets, etc.

    Josh a good friend of mine told me.. "I got in this because of the animals I like, I'm able to stay in business because of the animals my customers like..It's simple I let them by me the stuff I like and we're both happy"

    Depends on what they look like..some of those prices might make me question them..but if I had to choose I'd buy the female hypo..

    Keep in mind theres not much point in buying male hets unless you can afford a female to pair him with... sure there are plenty of good deals on DH clown/ghost males but a female will set you back a bit!

    You missed his point. A hypo that barely looks like a hypo I wouldn't "invest" in, even if it is priced that low.

    You may have missed my earlier post - forget about price - decide what morphs you want to work with, then TAKE YOUR TIME to shop around for the very best LOOKING animal that you can find - and pay a little extra if you have to, to get that animal. While you're taking your time to find that great example, you can be socking away extra money. Honestly - it will pay off in spades by the quality of the animals that you will produce.

    Like my signature says - you buy cheap, you get cheap - you buy quality, you get quality
