0.4 morphs - Which male(s) to add?

Today marks the day that my API T8s are full and I am in a holding pattern until next year when I get to add a male or two. Of course I have my own ideas, but I'm here to ask for some of your expert opinions.

They're in my signature, but here are the girls that I have now: Enchi, Sugar, Butter Patel, and Spinner Blast.

If you could only pick one male for these four, what would you pick? If two males, what would your two be?

Lets put a current market cap of ~$2k on the total value of the pick-up ($2k for one, or $1k for each), just to keep this as close to reality as possible.

Thanks for your ideas in advance!

A gorgeous cinny boy would do all those girls a world of good.

A Pewter would actually be a better choice. But, cinny none the less. ;)

I agree with cinnamon, I also like mojave. Maybe a savannah ball would be good, or maybe even a three gene male under 1K like a mojave cinnamon spider.

Great females!

I'd go with something like a Super Emperor :)

Lots of great looking things that can come out of that and I'm sure you can find one for ~$2000

Pastave is what came to mind first to me.

Hmm, I would go super pastel mojo or pastel ivory :)

I like the Pastel Ivory idea, or maybe something like a silver streak (Super Pastel Cinnamon).

Something with spider in it

Calider, Stinger, Spinner Blast, Bees, Lesser Bee

add something powerful with the spider and the list goes on and on

Enchi fire, enchi yellow belly... heck, enchi fire yellow belly (I have no idea on the price of such a triple).

Fire Calico and Pewterbelly

Most of what I'd have suggested has already been mentioned, but I would suggest avoiding a spider gene male, and probably a pin gene male considering you already have a spinner blast.

Id say Ivory for sure and maybe a Pastel Mystic?

Fire Yellowbelly Mojave or Fire Yellowbelly Black Pastel.

I think firefly and black pastel yb you would have some crazy offspring

Thanks! I'll definitely be including Fire in the mix, so something like a Superfly has been at the front of my mind for a male. But then, while window shopping around on KS, I happened across a Leopard Yellowbelly male that caught my eye. Time to jump on the Genetic Wizard and see about him!

Also, I like the Ivory idea, but my wife's not a fan of white snakes, and as they say - "Happy wife, happy life." :P

Something with pinstripe. Jigsaw blast.

Since you already have a Spinner Blast and Pastel Butter, I suggest not getting another Pinstripe, spider, and Pastel gene.
A superfly will have 2 additional pastel genes, so you'll just have a ton of pastel genes, which limit the possibility of morph combos.

I suggest getting genes you don't have.

This guy,and call it a day!http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file.../9/firebee.jpg

Definitely FIRE... Some kind of FIRE combo - Firefly YB would be perfect.

I agree with fire fly yb that would be bad ass

A super fire male or 3 gene male with fire in it that's in the 1k range for the first male...most likely it will be a firefly something. Getting the fire gene to stick to the first two female pairings would be sick though, that's actually very similar to the combos i'm shooting for with the next male i am picking up (along the lines of enchibutter). For the second I would saw whatever makes your favorite morph out of X + pinstripe. something with pastel in it could be nice for hitting the supers...but you have tons of options here.

just my 2cents!

Have fun.

I'd do things a little differently, I go with a male clown and a male enchi lesser. I'd use the clown the first year and hold back a couple of females from each clutch. Then I'd use the enchi lesser for each year after that until the holdback girls were big enough to breed back to their father.

I agree don't add genes you already have, especially pastel.

Fire Enchi, Fire Mojave, Fire cinnamon, Fire YB, or Fire lesser/fire butter- what they call nuclear- is just unreal! Or you could go vanilla. Vanilla acts much like fire does, but the combos are much less common.

Something like an enchi mojave, or lesser enchi. Cinnamon YB maybe, or a Black Pastel combo.

How about a superstripe and a firefly.

A firefly is a good one

I was thinking Mojave Firefly at first, but the Fire YB Mojave idea sounds really good too!

That's a nice variety of ladies. I would look for 2-3 gene males, no recessives, with a combo of any of these:
Black Pastel
Mojave
Cinnamon
Fire
Yellowbelly
Champagne
Mystic
Sable
Special
Specter
Leopard
Mahogany

Obviously some of these combos would blow your budget today, but in a year or so prices should come down a bit as more hit the market.

For 2K, I would go for a OD male

Or, if you want two males, a Leopard and a Fire YB would be very powerful to have and come up to less than 2K for both.

I'm going to say:

FireBee (Fire, Spider, Pastel)
Enchi Lesser

You might be stretching it, but you might be able to pick up both of those for $2,000... either way I would say you need some fire in it. Heck you could always throw hypo onto either of those above and everything will be het for hypo as well... Start setting up for some recessive... What are your ideas?

Calder

I have 9 eggs hatching around the 1st of july from that Firebee male in post #18 to a nice pastel.:D

I think Vanilla Cream would be better.

How about Black butter/ Black pastel lesser/ Black Mojo?

Haven't read the whole thread so I don't know if its been said but.... Cinnamon pastave!

Oops I'm an idiot, OP's got a Spinner. Obviously you don't want a Sable since it's lethal when combined with Spider.

I would ABSOLUTELY go for a SUPER fire, not just a fire.
