Ok, so I am saving up for the Daytona show and I really don't know what to get to further my breeding projects. All the ones I am listing here I am equally a fan of, so no need for "go with what you like" (since I like all of the little buggers so much!). I will probably sell a snake, after the show, and I'd like advice on that as well. Probably one of my pastels or the ghost, but I want to wait til after the show to see what I end up getting. All my current snakes are in my sig, and I am basically looking for morphs that will provide interesting designer morphs down the line, not just the best money makers.

I've been told by an old time breeder friend that "color sells" so that is somewhat in the back of my mind, but I like all these equally. I just don't know what will add the most to my breeding stock in the years to come. I need advice on gender too, big time. My price range is around $600 or so, maybe a tiny bit more depending on what snake I try and sell.

Enchi

Pinstripe

Albino (can only get a male and maybe a het female to go with him, I'd really prefer high contrast, but that may be out of my league)

Cinnamon

Butter

Lesser Platinum (more info on this morph in general would be appreciated, I haven't been able to find much.)

Vanilla (though I've never seen one for sale at a Florida show)

a pair of het Axanthics, or maybe a cheap male if I can find one. I really want one that will keep the dark greys and blacks in to adult hood, I've heard VPI line is best for that.

a pair of het pieds, though probably out of my range

Spider - I really love all the different spider morphs, so a spider het for something interesting and then a normal het to go with him/her would be very appealing. I'm not really sure how the price ranges are on these, and if I ought to get another female spider or get a male spider, this is probably the trickiest choice I am considering, albino spiders look really awesome to me, same with Axanthic. Like a great deal on a het for albino spider paied with a 100% het albino female would make my day heh).

Woma


So yeah, some advice on the pros and cons of any of those, including their gender would be really appreciated. Theres just so many ones I wanna get I need some sound, impartial, grounded advice on where to go next with what I have. Cheaper is also better. If you think I could get about equal benefit on a snake that will only cost me $350 vs marginal benefits for one that is $200 more I am going for the $350 one.

I know I've posted a lot. I don' expect people to offer comments on every single morph I mentioned (and looking back damn did I mention a lot). Just pick a few morphs you have some knowledge to share about and discuss those. I am sure there are a lot of people in a similar situation that'd love to learn the thought process in to building a good, affordable breeding stock. Especially when buying at shows I like to have a lot of things on my mind incase I find a good deal on something and I can know right away if it is a good fit for me.
