I am going to get a ball python and I am very curious as to what I should get as my first BP. Should I stick with the normal, wild type, or should I go for a pastel or spider? I've got my eyes set on a particular lemon pastel but I don't know if he'll still be there when I have the money for him. He's so cute though. I am thinking if I get a normal and end up wanting to breed I don't want to just breed normals, you know? Of course I have a lot more research to do before I even try to breed. I like normals but I love pastels. So I don't know. I am stuck at what I should do as my first BP. Should I go with what I love or should I go with something cheaper and something I can learn about more and then get what I love?
