which ball pythons should i get?

[Domepiece]

this is why im asking so i dont spend money in the wrong place. i dont have any snakes right now.

if i get 14 snakes how many males should i have? 3?

these are the snake i want to have:
Pinstripe
Spider
albino
Ghost
Piebald
Vanilla
Pastel
Mojave
Lesser Platinums
Fire
Enchi
Cinnamon

what will be the best way to get these morphs?
i want your opinions good or bad.

If it were up to me I would just start out with a Pastave, lesser Fire (or a vanilla Cream), honey bee, albino pied, spinner blast, pewter, and something with enchi. There you go most of the genes you want with half the snakes.

Look at major combo animals to see what you like. It's all a matter of preference.

I'm a big lesser + lesser combo fan. One of my projects is to produce Emperor Pins and Killer Kingpins. The Emperor pin and Killer Kingpin can produce pastels, lessers, pinstripes and all of their 2 and 3 gene combos.

Look at big breeder sites and scope out their animals. (specifically the multi-gene ones). Look at NERD's site or facebook page. They have crazy looking combos that can produce some of the base morphs on your list.

Like Raverthug said, some of the morphs on your list won't show visual unless both parents have that recessive gene (het). Albinos, Ghosts, and Pieds are recessive. If you bread any of those visual morphs to any other snake, you're going to get all hets.

For example:
Normal + Albino is going to get you all normal looking offspring that are 100% het Albino.

Now using a morph:
Spider + Albino = Spider 100% het Albino & Normal 100% het Albino.

So each parent needs to be either 100% het Albino or/and visually Albino.

Albino + Albino = Albino
Albino + 100% het = Albino & normal 100% het Albino
100% het + 100% het = Albino & normal 66% het Albino

Het morph example:
Spider 100% het albino + Albino = Spiders 100% het Albino, Albino, Albino Spider, normal 100% het.

Hope that didn't confuse you too much...

But anyway, just look for animals that you think look good.
