If you had 2-3K to spend on one animal...

Like the title says, if you were to spend between 2K and 3K on one animal, what would you get?

I am leaning male visual Desert Ghost, I really dig the project and think it has legs, but I would like to hear what some others think.

GO!

I would spend it on a giant maso mastiff.

Ok, I will specify, one ball python... (thought the section would dictate that).

A clown!

Well...I'd LOVE a sunset ball python...but that's a little bit out of the 2-3k price range lol.

I'd probably spend it on a 4-5 gene male...maybe a mojave/cinnamon/enchi/pinstripe/spider. xD Basically...a male with every gene I want but don't have in my collection (with the exception of a spider...I have a spider female)

I would get a Toffee but I have wanted one for a while now. Especially since they are compatible with Albino. Or maybe a Vanilla Scream or some type of Clown combo

For around that price I sure wouldn't mind a Mimosa.

Orange dream or a leopard.

Desert Ghost. I may be biased because we just put down a deposit last night :rofl:

You definitely can't go wrong with a Desert Ghost, but with it being recessive I personally might lean towards a visual female to start with. And then add a nice 1 or 2 gene Het. DG male in a year or so.

For us we are in a similar situation and will be adding a 2 gene Leopard male and a Orange Dream male in the next month or 2.

Good luck with your decision and the hunt!

With the collection of bright genes you have jinx, your desert ghost idea would have amazing legs. In the same breath an orange dream combo would be amazing also.

A vanilla cream combo or superstripe combo.

I am thinking visual male, because I can make hets with some of my existing girls and pick up a couple or three morph het females cheaper than visuals.

This! Lesser Genetic Stripe...if memory serves, I believe Bradford Cole produced this beauty a couple years back:

Maybe a little out of range, but an Ultramel or Super Nazca/sentinel/paint...

Yep. Male DG would go well with your collection :gj:. I went ultra over dg though ;)
