I apologize if I'm in the wrong section of the forum; though this does involve morphs I put it here because I'd like the business side of things to be considered as well, in terms of a future breeding plan.

So far I have a 2012 male super pastel, which I adore. I've been researching breeding as a hobby for some time now. Since I have a good year or so to start up, I wanted to get a head start on some girls to pair him with. As far as morphs go, I've been looking at mojaves, butters, pins, and pieds. I've been considering mojaves and butters because there's a chance to get a BEL, which is awesome. On their own with the super pastel is get at least pastels, pastaves, and butter pastels which are cool too. I don't particularly care for fires, but I'd definitely take them into consideration for fireflies. Ideally I'd love to produce pastel pieds, but that'd require at least two pieds for a visible baby; and that'd be counting on there being the right sex to pair with the second pied- which may not produce pastel pies anyway (at 25% chance).

Would it make better sense to start off with a couple of lower priced (morph, not quality) females and wait for the pieds to drop in price? Or should I start investing from the get-go for the bigger payoff? I do want to add that I'm a beginner breeder, and that while I'd like to be fiscally sensible, I fully understand that breeding is not easy money, and the snakes always come first. Please let me know if I'm going about this all wrong as well. If you have a better starting strategy, I'm all ears!

So if an ideal "startup package" was 1.3 with a super pastel male, what would you choose for the 3? I might not end up with that many to begin with, but at least I'd have a plan laid out for future prospects.
