Which Morph?

So, seeing as I rescued my male bp and he is a normal, it has never really been a problem figuring out what morph to get. Now that I'm ready to add a new addition soon, I'm not sure what morph to choose! I've narrowed it down to 3 different morphs.

• Pastel Butter
• Pewter
•Bumblebee

Which one would you pick in my situation? If you have any of these, feel free to post pictures!

I always found Pewters had interesting combos and are overall really fascinating, so they get my vote :p

I also vote pewter. Or if you don't mind upgrading a bit, get a nice sterling!

The one you like the most that is still within your price range gets my vote lol. I know its a generic answer, but it really doesn't matter. Its all personal preference. I feel as tho I can find something in every morph that I like.

...and the revolving door continues...

Who could have possibly seen this coming? You didn't have time or resources for the animal you rehomed less than a month ago, and have added animals since. And now want another animal of the same species you rehomed just a few weeks ago? It's almost like I called this happening...

Why is it that everyone deems it necessary to start drama on my threads? It clearly says "soon" not "now" or "tomorrow." And quite frankly, it's no longer anyone's business as to what I do with my pets. Now could you just please leave me alone? Thanks.

It's a public forum, I care about the animals. I'm voicing an opinion, you turn it into drama.

It’s not drama only concern for the welfare of an animal that is not a disposable pet.

You just recently re-homed a BP (less than 2 weeks ago) because

She was much to aggressive for me to handle and I just didn't have the time, or resources and knowledge

don’t you think it is fair to question the fact that you are thinking about adopting again?

So what if that one turns out to be aggressive too? Or not eating?

My vote with some food for the thoughts would be neither until you gain that knowledge you said you were lacking and have the time to deal with an issue when it arise, because it will arise whether it is feeding or behavioral.

Pet ownership is a serious responsibility.

This is not being rude or mean or trying to stir drama those are just fact you MUST take in consideration before making an impulse decision. I have no issue telling that to a stranger just like I would tell the same thing to a friend.

Like I said, it's not an impulse decision. It's not something I'm doing today or tomorrow, but in the future. Clearly I'm just trying to get opinions on morphs, but everyone wants to bring up past conversations that were suppose to have been settled when you locked that thread, right Deborah? So in that case, I'd appreciate it if everyone would leave me alone about the snake that I re-homed. It's out of my control and I'd rather not discuss it since it was such a big issue last time.

Do you really expect to post on a public forum who's purpose is to propagate the exchange of information, ideas, and opinions without any possibility of contrary opinions or possible scrutiny? A little naïve perhaps. While I can see you're frustrated, your posts have a back story and content that inevitably provoke responses much like those above. And since you haven't allowed enough time to lapse between faltering and putting yourself back in to a position to falter again, it's challenging for others to simply sit back and not say anything. You can't unscramble eggs.

Than get what YOU like, rather than bother about what other likes or think, it's that simple!

If you want to ask about people's opinion you are opening yourself to all kind of opinions not only the one YOU want to hear.

Good luck with your new future pet.

It's just frustrating for those of us who are truly passionate about these animals. You come on a public forum asking for advice, yet don't take the advice that is offered. If you hear something that you don't want to hear you go on the defensive and take it personally. It's clear to me that you're young and still have a lot to learn about life. I get it, I was young once too, but I understood constructive criticism.
I have no issue with you personally and 100000% honestly just want the best for the animals. The sooner you understand why we make the comments we do, the sooner you may actually learn something and grow as a person and an animal keeper.

I 100% understand constructive criticism, but sometimes it also helps to phrase things in a way that it isn't going to come across as rude or plain mean. I get that everyone has their right to an opinion and that this is a public forum; HOWEVER, since this was a matter that took place on a different thread, don't you think that it could have been better discussed through a private message rather than a public comment? Especially when this isn't something I'm doing right away?

In your original post, you stated "soon" and to many of us here, soon could be as quick as tomorrow. I know when I say "soon" it means I already have the hab set up and temps running, the debit card is already out, or the snake is already on its way. I know many of us here have had our impulse purchase or two, but the people who buy snakes that way are seasoned, have the means to do so, and have been elbow deep in this hobby for many years. And almost everyone here, even with our differing opinions, methods and tastes, are incredibly passionate about what we do and are always concerned about the welfare of every animal, be it ours or someone else's.

When we see someone who has just relinquished a snake for lack of experience, funds or what have you, already looking for a new addition it will definitely cause a word of caution. Don't take offense, it's rarely ever done with malicious intent.

Take things slow, get the experience you need in case any future animals cause issues for you again. You never know what you're getting until you have the snake in front of you.

Seeing as I haven't purchased anything whatsoever that would be relevant to housing a new pet, "soon" for me isn't quite the same definition as it may be for everyone else. I really just want to know what the differences are with the different morphs as they age.

All 3 of your choices will muddy up to some degree (that's what pastel does to combos unless you add up some en-lighter morph in addition to the pastel), some will muddy up more than others.

All those are adults over 1500 grams

You also said you were ready to get a new one, which implies sooner rather than later.

http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/pastel-spider/ - A high quality bee will keep some of the yellow, and have a nice high white. Most of the yellows on bee's will fade out to grayish brown, though.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do

I like the pastel butter.

I'm partial to the pastel butter as I have a super pastel lesser, those combos are so gorgeous to me [emoji7]
