A Good Trio
What would be your guys' choice morphs if you had a budget of 500 bucks for 3 snakes. They won't be bred and you only have 150 dollars to go over budget.

Re: A Good Trio
It really depends on what you like. You will have these animals for years to come so more than anything else, they should WOW you.
Now if you are just asking what three morphs might WOW others from a purely visual standpoint? Then I would say you could probably pick up a Banana, an Ivory, and a Pastel or Lesser Orange Ghost within your budget, if they are all males. I have seen male Ivories and single gene Bananas down around the $200 mark. POGs and LOGs are probably $100 to $150 if they look nice. If you add the $150 for going over budget, you might even be able to do an Albino rather than an OG combo.

So is the budget 500 or 650?
-
If they aren't being bred why do you need three? I'd rather have one jaw dropping $600 animal then try to budget myself to three $200 animals.

I was actually thinking almost the same thing, but would probably go with two on that budget.

Re: A Good Trio
I agree. I would instead go for one crazy morph. Like a firefly or banana pied....i need one of those in my life.

Re: A Good Trio
Altho i think either of those are waaaay above that price range. So I'll need to think more on it.

I think just one Firefly is under budget, and a Banana Pied is way over budget, can't get a Banana Pied for less than $1,250.
Here's a Firefly for $90 HA

Re: A Good Trio

Re: A Good Trio
The budget is 500, but you can pull 150 extra if you need too. So yeah 650 is the very most you could go.

Re: A Good Trio
Ultramel, coral glow, leopard. I think with some shopping around could get those 3 on that budget. Maybe.

Really? Is reptile keeping all about breeding? Is it that important to produce more BPs for an already over saturated market? Why should the hobbyist who enjoys keeping, but not breeding, limit themselves to a single animal? If a non breeder preferred a "single jaw dropping" animal, that's their choice, nothing wrong with that. If another prefers multiple animals, that's their choice. Does a non breeder "need" more than one animal? No they don't. Does a breeder "need" more than two animals? No they don't.

There is really no need to attack me for stating my opinion is there? I simply stated that I would rather have one really amazing animal then three animals if I wasn't breeding. The pricing is really irrelevant and maybe I shouldn't have said one $600 animal. I would rather put that money towards buying the animal that most catches my eye at an expo for example then trying to budget myself three animals.
I also simply asked why the OP wanted three, why is three the magic number? Why not one? Two? Five? Maybe the OP asked because they have three kids and wants to buy them all a bp. How would I know? I apologize if you didn't like my wording. Maybe it sounded a little too concrete.
I'm really starting to feel like I should just stop posting on these forums... I'm obviously doing something wrong here

Its thousands of people and its going off words where you cant hear a persons tone. Its like text. Sometimes things can be taken the wrong way or be read as more rude or confrontational than a person meant. I would not let things like that deter you from posting. You did a great job of explaining what you meant (not that i think you needed to) also if people simply stuck to answering the OPs question there would be no room for misunderstandings haha

Re: A Good Trio
I would personally go for a Pied, a Super Fire, and either a Pastel or Firefly.

I was not attacking you. I noted that your preference was perfectly fine. so is OP's.

Re: A Good Trio
I'm a keeper at the moment, rather than a breeder, and I've looked at thousands of pictures on WOBP and Morphmarket, pricing out what I like vs. space I currently have available.
I started with the basic morphs I really liked that were popularly/easily bred into BPs, specifically spider, calico, and leopards in my case. From there, I built on them with traits I liked - bright/high white sides, cleanliness of pattern, etc. Then I started looking at price and what was available. Cross-checked breeders, etc. Look some more. And on and on.
There are so many options in this market, that it really pays to look around and find out what you like. It may be something completely different that what others will show you (I love bright stuff and high white sides, but my husband is more a fan of naturals and dark colors... so I know at some point I'm going to have to build that in somewhere for his putting up with me and my hobby lol).

Well I wanted 3 because I've got the space money and time for more than one.And to be honest I didn't even think to buy just one; I just prefer 3 because I like interacting and doing /light/ travel with them (like going on walks or a quick drive to the liquor) store with my animals and having just 1 would be bad for the animal. I don't want to stress the same animal over, and over.
And sorry for the negative response you've been getting. I really don't think it's cool.

doing this with any BP at any time is bad for an animal that's nocturnal, solitary and stays put most of the time; you will stress them out. i highly recommend you reevaluate why you want these animals, and do a little more research.

I've done my research and I've owned animals before. I know what I'm doing.

I apologize for overreacting to your message, after rereading your message a few times I realize there was no ill intent. I'm pretty sure I misinterpreted the tone of your first few sentences which upset me a little and caused me to misread your last few. No hard feelings :)

Edit: oh wait, i didn't realize there was a budget. :(

Not to burst your bubble but ball pythons prefer to be alone. Having one would be okay for the animal but if you'd rather buy three just make sure you house them individually. (just thought I'd throw that out there in case you didn't know) As long as you take that into account and you have the time, money and desire to own more than one I see no problem with it. I guess it's really no different from people who have three dogs with no intentions of breeding them.
If I were you I'd probably go
1. Banana $250
2. Firebee $275
3. Kingpin $100

As I stated earlier, I'm an experienced keeper; all of the snakes will be kept safely and separately.No animal wil go without proper care.But thank you!I love how well meaning everyone on here is.

we see many new and inexperienced keepers; i just assume people don't know things and err on the side of caution. hope i didn't seem too harsh; just looking out for your new babies. 😊
