recommendations?

i was wondering what you're first morph was? and does anyone have any recommendations for a beginning breeder, as to the first morph they should get? spider, pinstripe, etc? or whether it should be dom, co dom or recessive? im gonna start breeding in about three years when my babies grow up haha but i might as well plan now! :D

my first was a pastel.. they cost a little more when i got mine though :)

Buy what you like and buy girls........ Boys mature much faster than girls so you can get them later....

Good luck!!

This wasn't my first, but it was the one that I am super excited about breeding and my only current ball, which is my male lesser. I got a male because I know that I can buy alot of sub adult normals and a adult morph or two later.

I just started breeding recently. I bought two females that were breeding with a mojave male (bought him too) I followed that up with 5 more females.. This will be the year of the mojave for me.

I plan to keep some babies, sell/trade any extras to finance some pin's, spiders, pastels etc.

I haven't got into recessives yet, mostly because they cost more but het's are fairly cheap and if you buy some now in 3 years they will be plenty big to breed.

You can't go wrong with whatever you choose.

I would recommend a female of whatever morph or het morph you like. A female because they take much longer to reach sexual maturity and whatever catches your eye because snakes take work and attention and money.
My very first snakes that I ever ordered from a breeder were a pastel het ghost and a het ghost. I quickly moved forward with 1.1 mojaves. I then quickly moved forward with a spider, ghost, pastel, lemon pastel, lesser, 0.2 normals, albino, and axanthic. Out of all of those, only 4 are males.
So get what catches your eye and have fun with it~ the fun comes first :gj:

My first morph was a pastel, although I had intended to start out with albinos. My second morph was another pastel (so I have a pair) and then I picked up a pair of het hypos.

Whatever female anything you can afford and catches your eye, and down the road you can add any male for cheaper than it would cost tomorrow and start building your collection that way,

Pastels are the new normal in many peoples eyes and play well with any morphs you choose in the future. So normals or pastels if your on a budget and anything that you like if can afford it.

I got 4 morphs all at once.

But my first genetic animal was an 05 male het pied

Get pastel females!! Alot of'em....

Technically my first morph was my pastel male... but he was a rescue given to me for free. My first PURCHASED morphs are a pair of 100% het albinos. :D Prayin to those OddsGods already...

i myself dream of breeding one day, but that hobby is definitely 5-10 years in the making (er, dreaming) simply because i have other things to do in my life first :P haha so my normal will satisfy my herp cravings for now.

if i had a choice, i'd go pied. i'm obsessed. my first morph will probably be albino or pied, but i've thought about het pieds and albinos too... a pair of those would be cool? i am still at the VERY beginning stage of learning about genetics and breeding, so at this point, it's what i'd think looks cool ;)

my first choice was a pair of het pieds. I am also getting a lemon pastel male, a cinnie female, a pinnie male, I have one normal female, and am getting another and am looking to get a female spider and female lesser. Go with what you can afford and what you would like to have. It's more of a personal preference than anything else. What is good for one person may not be good for someone else. But as was stated, get the snakes and enjoy them first.
