    You can breed just about anything to a normal without trouble. I would suggest you get a male with as many of the morphs in it that you like as possible. Also having a male that is multi co-dom will lead to a fun clutch where as a recessive male will just get you a batch of hets.

    I would suggest a super or some incomplete dominant mixed with a visual recessive animal. Why exactly do you want to breed a normal female? Not all snakes need or should be bred. If you are planning on breeding, you should have some end goal. Unless there is something special about the female, I couldn't imagine how she would fit into any breeding plans.

    I would do nothing less than a super + insert gene name here, so no normal are produced.

    I would personally not breed a normal at all unless she had some special quality that you'd hope her to pass down to her offspring and improve whatever genes you're throwing at her (brighter, super busy or reduced pattern, good blushing or flames, etc.)

    Unless she is a dinker, a dinker.
    Other than that, nothing, leave the normal alone, keep her as a pet, but never breed her. It's just going to be a bunch of snake babies that are harder to get rid of than if you had bred whatever the morph father is to a morph female.

    Re: Ideas on what morphs to breed with a normal female?

    Everyone else has covered it pretty well. I'd use either a super combo or a male with 4+ codominant genes.
