And the addiction starts.. What next?

So i have a spare tank i want to put a 2nd ball python in. When i get my 3rd ill buy a rack but for now another 10 gallon will do until they are bigger. I just dont know what to get! Im not sure if ill be breeding the new ine with my pastel someday but i just want a 2nd ball python that really stands out. Out of the base morphs what really stands out to you guys? Im stuck between a mojave, pinstripe, woma, or a fire. I prefer lighter colors so im not sure if i just want to shell out $325 for a designer morph like a bumblebee on BHB. There really awesome looking last time i was looking at them years ago they went for around $800. Out of all these options what would you get considering a snake that has a unique color/pattern for a base morph?

Fire. :gj:

I would lean more towards mojave or fire, but that's my preference. It's all going to depend on what you want to make and what you like.

My advice to you is wait on getting another and save the money for a nice rack system. It will benefit you more to get your rack in and set up/dialed in before getting more snakes. While the aquariums may work just fine, you will be happier with the rack. Then once you have your rack start filling it up :) . Take your time! Worst thing you could do is just start going shopping crazy and get in over your head or pick something up you don't need or want later on...

Good luck to you on whatever you decide :)

Oh and i forgot to mention lessers too, some look really cool.

I was going to say, if you like lighter morphs to look at the lessers. I think a pinstripe would be nice too. It really depends on what you want to spend.

I really am leaning towards the mojave. I like the dark gray background and blushing on that morph. But fires can look really nice as they age. Its so hard to tell because on each website they look somewhat different. I just want to stray away from a normals color/pattern and go with something light besides a pastel which i have already.

Yes i do. Are lessers just more reduced in pattern and color then a normal? I know lessers are popular right now because of what they can produce.

There are busy patterned lessers, and reduced pattern lessers. Depends on what you like. Here's a couple pics of my female pastel lesser I picked up at Daytona expo. She was $375

I love lessers, and I don't think there is a combo that I don't like with lesser in it. :) Doolittle has a gorgeous pastel lesser aswell that is more busy patterned than mine. Perhaps she can post it to show that side of the spectrum.

I do too now looking at pictures online. I like the pastel lessers but on bhb they go for $550 for a male! $300 is the most i want to spend. Mojaves are $225 and Lessers are $275. I narrowed down to those 2. Now its deciding between them.

I would pick lesser personally, then pick up a Mojave girl when you can. Both are invaluable, and do two different things in combos. If you like the lighter combos, lesser is the way to go. If you like darker, Mojave.

It's all a matter of personal taste. They are equally awesome :)

Id go with a Lesser they look awesome and make awesome combos.

I was gonna say the same thing! That's a hell of a deal! Nice pick-up...
:)

Yep :) From Gulf Coast Reptiles at the Daytona Expo. That was her marked price even. Her and her brother were both marked $375. She's my best eater and most friendly as well.
Love my Henna to pieces :wuv:

Thats a steal dude! Like ed reed pick six style! Boom!

Ok, so out of your original list I would say fire. If we move outside of that, I would totally suggest a bumblebee (they are awesome). Or something lesser/butter. And then there's always enchi to consider, enchi has TONS of potential too. Anywhoo, here's my pastel lesser-

If you like lighter colors then lesser or a butter is the way to go. But you really need to get what YOU want to get.

If you could post your bumblebee thatd be great! The mojave and lesser price is so close to the bumblebee so i dont know if i should just spend the extra $50. I just cannot choose!

Oh, I would love too! :D. She is ma babeh! First one is about 900 ish grams, second was just last weekend or so.

I've got butter also, if you want to see her.

Not to be the devil's advocate, but.....it hardly matters what you get next, because you'll be be back for whichever you didn't choose in a matter of months! At least that's how it usually works ;)

At any rate, keep looking at examples of all the morphs you're interested in that are in your price range, and likely you'll eventually see one that grabs you as an individual. Have fun deciding!

I vote Mojo or Lesser myself :gj:

That is a good deal. Have you sexed her to double check?

To the OP get an enchi.

Ok i think i made my decision.. Mojave it is! I really like the dark black gray contrast with the high yellow and blushing. If anyone could post pics of their mojaves hatchlings/adults thatll be great :D i want to see some good quality pics because online i just cant get a good look of them alot are designer morphs not the base morph of mojave. Thanks to all who responded i think lessers are next on my list then a bumblebee after i get this rack started. Im switching to tubs from aquariums to help with this humidity problem until then.

Chris popped her for me at the show, and I popped her at home (self teaching, first try) But Chris and Sheila at GCR are pretty big breeders, so I trust them. Both times she popped female (I watched Chris and saw the pop).

For the OP, here is my Mojave. Just a Mojave as far as I know.
