Hey guys!
I've decided that ball pythons will be the next species I add to my collection (I know, I know... being here on bp.net it should be a given that I get ball pythons.) and I have come to you gurus for advice on which morphs to acquire first. I am not planning on breeding immediately, but want the animals I buy to be both good to look at (i.e. pretty enough to enjoy them) but also good base morphs for a collection when I do start breeding.
At present, I'm considering starting with a group of 3 females.. Grow them for a year or so, then decide if I want to buy a male and begin breeding.
That said, I love most of the morphs out there, but these are my favorites: Pastel, black pastel / cinnamon, fire, enchi, calico/sugar, mojave, butter/lesser, and pinstripe. I tend to like anything with a lot of contrast and my "dream snake" right now is a calico / sugar pastel.
Considering that I will be getting a male (in theory) for breeding, I'm trying to decide which three morph females to start with. I've narrowed it down to some options and would like your feedback. I'd like to keep the total for all three around $600, then spend more on the male when I get to that point.
1. Pastel / enchi / fire (I know enchi / fire are good ad-ins for morphs, but don't know if they look good on their own)
2. Mojave / butter / lesser (like all, but don't know which is best to start with)
3. Cinnamon / black pastel (don't know which look better as adults)
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or advice and thanks for your time / help!
