First time breeding, what kind of male should I get for my pinstripe female?

[MontyP2016]

Hello all! I have a 4 year old pinstripe that I would like to breed this year. I have a normal male but he is way too small/young. Any ideas of the perfect male for her? Should I get another pinstripe? Normal? Also, what would be the perfect size male for her? Should he be the same size as her? Bigger? Smaller? Thank you!

Look at morphmarket and see what you like, then try and make it.


Example!

I want a superfly, so i will breed a pastel to a fire, then hopefully i will get a firefly that i will be to breed to a pastel. Which will get me a superfly!

Awesome! Thanks for showing me this website! I'm looking for my male now!

lots to cross a pin with
you could get a pastave (pastel mojave) then you would get pastels, pinstripes, mojaves, pastel pins, pastaves, jigsaws, and jigsaw blasts,
and that is is a non expensive male
you could do a bee (pastel spider) or killler bee(super pastel spider)
and you would get pastel, spider, pin, spinner, pastel pin, pastel spider and pastel sipnners\
it realy all depends on what you like and want to make but if it were me i would get atleast a 2 gene male, more if you can afford it
the more genes you get in the pairing the less chance of normals and the easier it will be to move babies when they do come

Lesser does wonderful things with pin. So does enchi.

Personally I'd get something with a 'super' gene. Then you wouldn't get any normals. For example if you bred with a super pastel + another one or more genes you would at least have all pastel mix babies, no normals. A normal ball python would be very difficult to sell, you'd probably have to give it away, especially if it was a male. I got my male normal for free, I wanted him just so I can use him to prove out multi gene snakes to see what kind of genes are in there.

Here's a cool male for $200, a super pastel plus fire and yellowbelly!!!

If you haven't found it already, check out the genetic wizard calculator for snake crosses at this site:

For example, if you crossed the snake I mentioned above with your pinstripe this would be the result below. You can figure out what snakes you like and which would sell the best or for the most money (best return on investment). I played with this for months before I made my choice of genes to breed.

Here's another one if you wanted to step up to a $700 snake, it has five genes. Plug that into the morph calculator and you'll see that you can actually make 64 different snakes! You could breed that over and over for years and still be surprised at the combos coming out of that mix. Personally I'd search for a cool five gene snake like this:

Coral Glow / Cinnamon / Yellow belly / Enchi / Pastel

Disclaimer:This is based on my personal opinion

1st Pick: A double Recessive male. You could produce pin double hets, giving you some really cool stuff in the future.

2nd Pick: Albino or Spider albino. Giving you codom hets that you could use. Albino Spiders, Pins and Spinners are awesome.

3rd Pick: If you want to see visuals in your first breeding, than i suggest getting a cool codom. Ie Banana. (Banana Pins are slick)

I think if you could find a nice Pastel Leopard it could make some pretty nice looking animals and you may be able to pick one up without too much cash outlay.
