Investment morph

Hey guys so I have everything I'd like to work with. Now I want something that will help pay the bills. What's a good investment morph ? I was thinking calico, champagne or phantom? I'd spend up to 3 g's.

I would say Champagne. (But that's just my opinion). There are still many Champ combos that can fetch a hefty penny.

Ahh I love the champ stuff. I would also go with a champagne.

Champagne is a good one...Hidden Gene Woma and Specter would be good choices as well.

Orange dream.

For 3 Gs, you can get at least 2 out of the 3. Maybe a Champagne and a Phantom.

If your females are up to breeding weight or close to it I would invest in at least a higher end male combo to increase your odds of a payout. I wouldn't even bother with just a single gene, unless of course it's another female you are looking for.

Edit: Sorry, I just noticed most of your girls are 2011s.

pastel enchi male! or a lesser enchi male..

or a super male to breed with that female to get more base morphs to sell

I would get something that will work well with the animals you already have. I see you have a Spider het hypo male, you could get some pastel het hypo females and go for a Humble Bee, or even a female Pinstripe het hypo and shoot for a Hypo Spinner.
Most of your girls are babies, I'd get a high end female this year, then keep your eyes open for a nice male next year.
I have 4.48, I plan on getting a few more powerhouse males in 2012.

Honestly from what ive found no snake helps with the bills! I do it as a hobby, and what ever I make is just an added bonus.

What im saying is do not go with " an investment" You never know if the snakes are even going to breed, or be worth anything close to what you originally paid. Albinos where $1500 when I started out and look at them now, and it has not been too much longer than what it would have taken the female to grow to size.

Go with what you desire most to make, and good things will come out of it :gj:

whatever your choice, you might wanna go with a adult, or you wont be getting any bills paid any time soon. iv been in it for 3+ years and iv YET been able to pay for the feeder bill LOL.......
spooky

Since your girls are still young, I suggest continuing to save up and going for a GHI male. They're still new, there are still combos to be made, and they make some GORGEOUS combos. They'll probably hold their value for a while longer.

Ralph Davis's black head project......

If you're dead set on getting something right now, I'd suggest a multi gene male. You could pick up a nice pastel mojave calico right now for about 3k. If you have the patience to wait until your females are of size and save as much money as possible for when they are close to big enough, you'd be looking at an even better male.

Great replies everyone thanks! I'm not really looking to pay bills or anything, the oil rigs provide me enough for that! It's just always fun producing top of the line animals, which usually bring in a high price... That's fun too! I got lots of research to do! Thanks everyone keep the opinions coming!

Would it be smarter to wait a month or two and get a top of the line powerhouse male female pair. I usually have $3000 to spare every two weeks after bills/fun money/reptile supplies. So it wouldn't take very long to save up. What do you guys think, your opinions are honestly very helpful.

Since money doesn't seem to be the issue I'd look for something you would find enjoyable producing. What's your favorite morph/combo?

I love bee's ,ivories ,bel's anything Light Coloured! I'm fond of champagnes and striped combos ( just grabbed 1.0 genetic stripe 0.2 %het gstripe all breeder size to work with)

If that's the case and you really want to make an investment(not talking about paying the bills), why not just save up for a year and look into Pumas, coral glows, GHI's, and such? Obviously, breed the morphs you enjoy, but looking at it from an investment standpoint, this seems to make sense. Good luck deciding whatever you do!
