    Which Morphs to get - Your Thoughts Please

    Hi all

    I've got an opportunity to get my hands on some morph hatchlings come January.

    Below is a list of what is available in my budget. I will be acquiring 3 from the list below and was wondering what your recommendations would be.

    Pastel
    Spider
    Mojave
    Het Albino Pair
    Het Axanthic Pair
    Cinnamon
    Het Yellow Ghost Pair

    Not the biggest selection, this breeder does have Piebalds, Albino's, Butter Ball, Bumblebee,Pewters, Yellow Ghost, and Spider Het Albino also available but these are currently out of my $$$ range.

    I'm def going for a Pastel as it is a good base for many morphs.

    So any thoughts would be welcome...

    Thanks

    Personally, I would get two mojaves and either a spider or a pastel- either one a female, so then by the time I can afford a male I waill already have the female nice and big, hopefully

    Pastel Male
    Cinnimon Female
    Spider Female

    Pewters and bumblebees possible for your first time breeding. Then you can take a younger boy pewter and/or bumble bee and breed them back to both females for all kinds of things the following year. Pewter bees, cinnibees, super cinnimons, killer bees, bumble bees, cinnimons, spiders, and pastels.

    Thanks all

    I was first considering the Pastel, Spider and Mojave. I love the BEL that can come from Mojaves, just a super looking animal....

    I'm now considering getting a Cinnamon instead of the Mojave (thx Gloryhound)

    What other potential offspring can come of the balls in that list. Ideally I'd be looking at future potential with my selection....

    Re: Which Morphs to get - Your Thoughts Please

    1.0 pastel
    0.1 spider
    0.1 cinnamon

    This gives you the opportunity to hatch out the following:

    - pastels
    - spiders
    - cinnamon pastels
    - bumble bees
    - pewters

    Definitely a good base of morphs to get you started.

    If i was going to do it that way though, i would spend a little extra and get a male super pastel. You won't hatch out any normals this way, everything will at least be a pastel. Any of the babies that also get the spider or cinny gene will automatically be pewters or bumble bees .. no regular cinny's or spiders. Your odds will be doubled, so that each egg has a 50/50 chance of being a pewter or bumble bee from each respective mother.

    I personally really like all the cinnie/black crosses... pewters, cinnie spiders (cinnabee i think?), etc. But the cinnabee I think is a really underappreciated morph.
