So in that case, I'd appreciate it if everyone would leave me alone about the snake that I re-homed. It's out of my control and I'd rather now discuss it since it was such a big issue last time.

    Than get what YOU like, rather than bother about what other likes or think, it's that simple!

    If you want to ask about people's opinion you are opening yourself to all kind of opinions not only the one YOU want to hear.

    Good luck with your new future pet.

    It's just frustrating for those of us who are truly passionate about these animals. You come on a public forum asking for advice, yet don't take the advice that is offered. If you hear something that you don't want to hear you go on the defensive and take it personally. It's clear to me that you're young and still have a lot to learn about life. I get it, I was young once too, but I understood constructive criticism.
    I have no issue with you personally and 100000% honestly just want the best for the animals. The sooner you understand why we make the comments we do, the sooner you may actually learn something and grow as a person and an animal keeper.

    I 100% understand constructive criticism, but sometimes it also helps to phrase things in a way that it isn't going to come across as rude or plain mean. I get that everyone has their right to an opinion and that this is a public forum; HOWEVER, since this was a matter that took place on a different thread, don't you think that it could have been better discussed through a private message rather than a public comment? Especially when this isn't something I'm doing right away?

    Re: Which Morph?

    In your original post, you stated "soon" and to many of us here, soon could be as quick as tomorrow. I know when I say "soon" it means I already have the hab set up and temps running, the debit card is already out, or the snake is already on its way. I know many of us here have had our impulse purchase or two, but the people who buy snakes that way are seasoned, have the means to do so, and have been elbow deep in this hobby for many years. And almost everyone here, even with our differing opinions, methods and tastes, are incredibly passionate about what we do and are always concerned about the welfare of every animal, be it ours or someone else's.

    When we see someone who has just relinquished a snake for lack of experience, funds or what have you, already looking for a new addition it will definitely cause a word of caution. Don't take offense, it's rarely ever done with malicious intent.

    Take things slow, get the experience you need in case any future animals cause issues for you again. You never know what you're getting until you have the snake in front of you.

    Seeing as I haven't purchased anything whatsoever that would be relevant to housing a new pet, "soon" for me isn't quite the same definition as it may be for everyone else. I really just want to know what the differences are with the different morphs as they age.

    All 3 of your choices will muddy up to some degree (that's what pastel does to combos unless you add up some en-lighter morph in addition to the pastel), some will muddy up more than others.

    All those are adults over 1500 grams

    You also said you were ready to get a new one, which implies sooner rather than later.

    http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/pastel-spider/ - A high quality bee will keep some of the yellow, and have a nice high white. Most of the yellows on bee's will fade out to grayish brown, though.

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do

    I'm partial to the pastel butter as I have a super pastel lesser, those combos are so gorgeous to me
