    What morph female should I get? ;)

    This November, I'm visiting the reptile expo in Arizona. Now, I want a baby female BP to breed with my male when I get her to the correct weight. Now, I'm going to list the morphs I would want, and you tell me which I should get and the price of it because I'm not too clear on prices.
    -Cinnamon
    -Spider
    -Pastel

    Also, any other morphs that are under $400 I would want to look into those, but I want it to be a dominant or co-dominant. I'm impatient, and want to make some good lookin' morphs in the first generation. I can't even wait to breed and that will take a year or so, so I'm not a patient person. I guess the wait is worth it though.

    An option to consider in your price range would be a Mojave.

    You should get what YOU like the most since it will be YOUR pet.

    Usually it takes about 2 years to get a female to a proper breeding weight. Even if the female grows rapidly, many breeders will wait until the 2nd winter just to be on the safe side.
    These are approximate female prices from my experience, all breeders will price differently.

    -Cinnamon $350-400
    -Spider $300-400
    -Pastel $175-225

    Some breeders will also go lower or higher depending on quality, but generally pastels will be the most inexpensive. My female spider was 325, but I have seen 'selected' spiders that have nice patterns up for 400. It really depends and varies.

    I got my pastel for $125 at the reptile show here, and he is GORGEOUS - and extremely sweet to boot. You might also find a ghost/hypo or mojave in that price range, although they're usually closer to $350. Good luck!

    Actually with a baby female you'll have to wait at least 2-3 years until she's sexually mature, even if she is of proper weight. But the wait is well worth it...

    Get what YOU personally want to produce. My first BP is a Pastel and I paid $200 for him. I think he was well worth it.

    If it were me, I would personally get a Cinnamon and/or Pastel because I want to produce Pewters, Sterling Pastels, and Super Pastels.


    Good luck!
