Assuming you have done a little research on what you will need to keep your animals healthy, and you have all the caging or perhaps a rack system, this is what I would do if I could start over with my collection. (ultimatley it comes down to what you like)
I would buy the barkers ball python book and as many of the nicest looking 08 females as you can, 2 or 3 female pastels (het for a recessive would be best) and/or a mojave a het albino or het pied or any other awesome recessive trait. When you buy more than one snake at a time from one breeder you can get better prices than purchasing individual animals. Then next year about this time buy 1 or 2 09 visual morph males. Then by the time your females are ready your males will be out of quarentine and you can rock and roll.
Experience can be learned with the help of the people here at BP.net and the barkers book you will have husbandry down in no time flat. Then you can work on the breeding aspect. It just takes the will to learn and a lot of time.
One thing to keep in mind, my BF and I did the math on our animals with purchasing your rats from a pet store, cage furniture and substrate,the cost of electric and water and the cost of each animals drawer in a rack, each BP is going to take about $350 a year to support. It can be done cheaper (like if you have a rat breeder for a food supplier, you breed your own rats, or you build your own racks, you buy substrate in bulk, etc...) but not by to much. Plus you will be putting at least a few hours a week into caring for your animals. I am in no way trying to stop you from breeding balls but you need to make sure you can afford to house them and have the time to take care of them.
However, if do decide to you start a breeding program, I hope it is a great learning experience and I know the people here at BP.net will be there to support you.
Good Luck!11
