Picking the best Morph

Well hatching season is here and continuing and the time for us buyers is soon to begin to. I've decided to educate myself since one day I'd like to breed a small bit as a hobby but before that I need to select the best quality animals.

I looked at hunters guide to morphs but I didn't understand. I have a mental picture of what I want in a Male Cinnamon and Male Spider but It's hard to describe.

So I am hoping for some help from the pros, those most experianced. Cause it certainly ain't me. I just know what I think is pretty.

your best bet is to shop around online to see what is offered as well as go to local expos. Wait until you find that one you have to have. I personally would rather pay more to get that snake that fits what I want and my " mental picture" of what it should look like.

Yeah I agree, Unfortunatly I had found the two perfect males but they had been sold, I was tricked by a non updated site :rofl:

Hopefully at W.A.R.E or online I'll find what I seek.

And that's what you buy. What pleases YOU the most.

Spiders - some prefer low white, some prefer high white, some prefer reduced pattern, some prefer some busy pattern. MY ideal spider is a high white, reduced pattern spider.

Cinnamons - again, a personal preference. I like mine to "pop". I searched for over a year for my perfect cinnamon. I like a black back and I like the pattern to "float". I got both:

Robin I have to say our tastes on cinny's and spiders match. For spiders I am all about high white sides and bright gold with reduced patterns. And I love cinnamons with a nice reddish brown than make you go oooh. Your cinnamon is the picture I go by when looking for one.

Ben Renick had two males that were in my mind perfect, But I'll be checking him and Bailey reptiles this summer. As well as my breeder friends from W.A.R.E

Well I do not go by guide or based on what other think, I go by what I like.

I tend to be very picky and I know what I want and what I don't want, so when I buy an animal or even hold one back I select what I found the most appealing according to MY taste.

And sometimes it can take a while, took me 2 years to find the perfect pair of Albino ;)

So my advice know what YOU want and be patient don't jump on an animal because you want that morph in your collection now or because it's a great deal, be picky and chose wisely. :gj:

Jeeeeeezzz Robin Where Did You find That Cinnamon :O:O:O

Your own words are the best advice. Get what you like the best. Everyone has their own tastes for various morphs.

Take spiders, some like a lot of pattern, some like minimal pattern. It's whatever floats your boat.

Make sure you buy from a quality breeder with good animals and a good rep and beyond that, get what you like the most.

i agree it what u like niot what i like get what u like

I think you should buy a female pastel and a male spider! Nothing beats a nice looking bumble bee!

That is one really HOT cinnamon.... I'm so jealous, because I love cinnamons. :8:

I personally like the pewter lines. I would go with a nice graziani cinnamon, and a lemon pastel. That's just me though.

Do whatever you like. You will find it, and when you do, you will know immediately.

Best of luck finding the perfect snake.

Graziani Cinnamons are beautiful unfortunatly I hate the way they ship. If you want insurance with them you have to go to the airport and approve it right there infront of the person at the airport.


And I'm to much of a newb to know at once glance if the snake is problem free. So until they can fix that I'm not sure I'll order from them.


I think I am gonna keep a major eye on my friends from ware this summer. I am not saying but I got a lead on some spider and pinstripe clutches today :D


Does anyone know what a Cinnamon x Pinstripe would look like?

IIRC, BHB had some this year, though maybe it was someone else. I don't remember being impressed by it. Same with cinnabee, not impressive. However, a pewter pin would be hotness.

I guess this is a matter of taste and opinion. But, personally I thought the cinny pin was hot. It looked to me very much like a jigsaw or mojo pin, which I also find to be very attractive. Just with a darker head and blushing.

I do agree with the pewter pin though... that would be a sexy pinstripe. :salute:

Edit:

Here is a photo of a cinny pin:

And a mojo pin (jigsaw):

They look very similar to me, the jigsaw is just lighter in overall color and blushing. But pattern is very similar, in my opinion.
