A mojave female ball python would be a good choice. Offspring would be mojaves and normals.

Well because he is a normal unless you bought a super (Super pastel, Lucy, Bel) your odds are 50% and 50% Mojo (if thats the female you buy). Now if you buy a super female (example Super Pastel) ALL the eggs will be a pastel! Does that help?

I would a two gene female ike a pastel mojave. Then babies could be pastel mojos, mojos, pastels, and normals!

I would point out that it's unusual for people to breed normal male ball pythons, unless they're extremely unique in pattern, temperament, etc. One male can breed a large number of females, so most folks would get normal females, and a male morph.
If you were going to spend $200 on a female mojave, and then raise her up for 3 years to breeding size...why not spend just $75 more for a male pastel, and make pastaves?

Now, if your male ball python is really something special, and you specifically want to propagate HIS genes...you may also want to consider simply getting a female normal that has equally great characteristics.

I guess it also depends on budget. I've selected ballpark prices of some dominant, and co-dom morphs. I personally skip Spiders and Pinstripes, in favor of the co-doms, so that you could breed one of the male offspring back to mom eventually to get the super form.

Good luck!
