Hi, all.

I have been lurking around this site for quite awhile, and finally took the plunge and registered.

Of course...I did so with a purpose in mind!!!

I'm about 4 months away from being ready to add a BP to my small (but cool, IMO) collection. I'm not new to Ball Python ownership and care...but I AM new to all these morphs, colors, and pattern variations. The few I've owned in the past were all typical normals.

In the interest of keeping this short (and holding your attention), here's my issue:

I DON'T KNOW WHICH MORPH IS RIGHT FOR ME!!!

I am not...and will not...be a breeder, so I don't really care about hets and/or possible hets. What' I'm after is a BP with a very unique look. Don't get me wrong...I love all snakes...but if I'm going to own a BP, I wan't it to be something special. Something you won't find at every Petco you walk into.

I've seen quite a few Pins, Spiders, Super Pastels, etc. - all of which looked amazing.

I suppose my question is this: If one were to spend $300-$500 on a BP, with the intent of having it be a healthy (top priority), hearty, and UNIQUE PET BP, what morph sticks out to you as a good choice?

I will buy my BP either from a breeder here, or perhaps at one of the shows coming up later down the road.

Since I'm new to this, I'm looking for any insight ya'll are willing to provide. I'm wanting to stick with my specified budget...but I'm not educated enough to know what all may fall into that particular window.

Thanks a ton for your time!
