Not sure which way to go here

I am looking for another male and I am not really sure which direction I should go in that would benefit my females the best. I am finally ready to breed next year and I have currently :
Males
Pied
Pastel
Albino

Females
Super Pastel
Pewter
Champagne
Het Pied
Mojave
Planning on adding several more females as well. BEL for sure, not sure what else.

However I want a multi gene male that will compliment my females a little better. Of the females that I have, 3 should be ready by next year. Super Pastel(ready now, just no male for her), pewter, and het pied(obviously she will go with my pied male). I love the way enchi lesser combos, and I ADORE what the leopard gene does to anything it touches. I have seen some nice pastel leopards lately, but I wonder if I shouldn't hold out for something else. So my question is, if you had about $500-1000 for a male, what would you go with? I am checking websites several times a day waiting for new babies, lol. I am just curious about your opinions. Thanks!
Genes that I am interested in adding are hypo, spotnose, enchi, spider, sugar, leopard.

Ummm, Banana.

No brainier...close second would be GHI.

Spotnose is a cool morph, but get a female.

Dave

Leopard lesser mentioned you like both of those and I think it will mix very well into your collection

I do like GHI and of course bananas are spectacular. I just don't like how they speckle with age. And in a few years I will be able to get one much cheaper I believe. I may check out GHI prices...

I would get a nice ghi or maybe and orange dream

How do you even breed for what benefits the female??? Benefits her in what way? Here's a thought..... breed for what benefits you and what you want to produce.;)

With that said dont bother buying a bel, just make your own, OR if you do get one, toss the mojave and just use a bel! (only looking at 300-400$ difference depending on size.

With your males, id Toss the pastel and get a Super pastel (not much more money,)

For males id go

Pied(pastel pied if u can afford)
Banana
Super pastel Special (makes wicked crystals)
Phantom


Females
BEL (either moj x moj or Mojave x Butter/lesser)
Pewter
Champange(if you want)
Killerbee/Bumblebee
Lesser

And for your het pied id go with a visual with het like

Pastel het pied
Clown het pied

Something like this, That way you can get some DH or just Pastel/Super pastel pieds.

Lol well not what benefits her personally. I just mean what morphs will compliment her offspring. [emoji6]

Well I won't be tossing the pastel, he was my first BP and my baby. However I probably won't use him to breed. I already have the Pewter and champagne females and the pied male. Thank so much for the advice, maybe If I saw an adult banana now I'd like them better?

Whoops sorry, Not toss, Kinda thought you didnt fully have them all yet were looking for purchases! Well you could always put him with a nice female, get some super pastels.

The more I look for males, the more females I find that I "need", lol.

You can never have enough females, i know a few people with 100+Breeding females, and a good 5+ males, (they breed year round so its not 1 male to 30females a month =p)

Honestly with what you are interested in, I would combine a couple of those genes.
I would go with either a honeybee(hypo spider)
http://www.regiusco.ca/images/python...erHoneyBee.jpg
or an enchi sugar
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/fi...-sugar/004.jpg
they look wicked and combinations with the sugar gene are some of my favorites.

that's just my two cents

I have been looking floor a honeybee female, just haven't found one to my liking yet. And that sugar enchi is sweet! Problem is other than Mike Wilibanks, I haven't seen anyone with sugars. I'm not a calico fan even though some believe they are the same.

I think BHB has a honey bee female for around 300, and yeah I think Mike Wilbanks is about the only one working with the sugar gene at least that's where I will be going for my sugar male.
