Best Starting Morph for beginners

[rabernet]

I think you should save up to get a decent thermostat to accompany all of your other husbandry purchases, and then buy which ever snake your eyes desire.

I agree with this - buy the necessary husbandry supplies you need for your current animals first, THEN think about adding another animal.

Right now, you've got enough to order a Johnson's or Ranco thermostat!

Also, if you are scraping your pennies together to come up with that much cash, and your parents are so unenthusiastic about the snakes, what will happen if you need to take one of them to the vet? You should save up some money in case of emergency, and never spend it, so it is always available if/when the snakes need medical care.

After you've got that safety net, then start saving for that dream morph. As far as which one to get, you should absolutely go with what YOU like. And that means the individual animal as well as the morph. Pastels in particular are highly variable, so while you may love some of the ones you've seen posted on this forum, the higher quality ones are not likely to be available for $75. Make sure you like the snake you are getting, not just the label attached to it.

If you are interested in spiders as well, you should read up on the issues they face. I'm still adjusting to mine and have had her for about a month!

Pastels are great too and IMO, are great starter morphs!
