    why should we help you decide..

    It's your hobby, so you must make the decision which morphs you want to add to your collection.

    I personally should invest in recessive morphs (clown, piebald etc)

    What are your plans?

    Why those morphs?

    What do you want to make out of those animals more than ANYTHING???

    What do you already have?

    Looks like a pretty narrow list already. I would just go and get what catches your eye the most. My wife and I already have everything on the list except for everything that could be covered under other and that makes it harder to decide compared to not having any of them as they are all great looking morphs. (OK we don't have a basic spider, but we do have a bee which is close enough for me!) Go and get what floats your boat the most.

    Hey Chris, it's all about what YOU want! I'll be there to help ya out though man :) I thought you had a spider already? You'll have plenty of options at the show and I'll do my best to help guide you through them lol. Just gotta scope it out first and not buy the first one that you see in your price range.

    I chose "other" as there was no "All of the above" answer to check!

    It would be a little easier with an idea what your budget is... But if I was YOU,Spider and hypo! Both morphs have so much awesome potential:D I mean name one morph that dosent look better with the hypo gene? The only thing that sucks is hypo being recessive...

    Hypo and spider man, do it up.

    Then if you still have money grab a pastel for future projects.

    haha yeah that sounds good, no I have a vpi axanthic, not a spider although I would like one but I have no idea what Ill get there, Ill probably just decide on the spot with whatever I see that I like. I love the Hypos and Mojos but the Spider has alot of potential I dunno we will see..... And yeah you guys are gonna have to restrain me from buying the first one I see because I do that alot.

    Well, here's an idea.... and I'm just thinkin here..... Since your axanthic is a male, get yourself a spider female and a hypo female then in a couple years you can breed axanthic to hypo for double het babies (100% het hypo, 100% het axanthic), raise them up and try for the True Ghost! I'll see if I can find some pics of them because they are HOT definitely worth the wait :D. And then you've got your axanthic X spider to try for spiders het ax and not too long after axanthic spiders! They're both longish projects (3-4 years minimum) but if they pan out for ya you'll have some awesome looking animals!

    Re: Need help on deciding what to get at the White Plains show
    Alright first off I vote against Albinos. I don't like them at all, in fact I dislike them, lol.

    What I'd choose in this order are:

    Co-dom Traits:
    Fire
    Lesser
    Butter
    Pastel
    Mojave

    Recessive:
    Pied
    Desert
    Clown
    Axanthic
    Ghost
    Lavender

    Dominant:
    Spider

    As I said before those are all in order of what I would take. In your case I assume you're aiming at the 1000 dollar range? So I'd probably go with either what I got myself (Pastel and Fire) or something more like a Spider and a co-dom trait of your choosing. Possibly a Pastel, especially if you can get a Lemon, however a Butter or a Lesser would be nice as well. Alternatively you could get something and a hypo, then breed the hypo to one of your other snakes as well as what you get, breeding the offspring together to get a hypo crossed with whatever you picked before. If you get a hypo just about anything else you get will look good as a Hypo/whatever. Because Hypos make some stunning combination.

    A Spider and a Pastel would work very nicely, or perhaps, if you can get it, a Spider, a Pastel, and maybe something else (Mojave perhaps).
