Which one? (Narrowed it down a little)

[DarkSean]

Hey, I have been thinking and I have narrowed it down to 3 options, I will make a poll and then we can see what people think is the best option.

Im in no rush to breed but I want something that in 3 years will be wanted if that makes sense. Not that we can see into the future.

I only have a young normal female at the moment.

I am thinking of getting either

Choice 1 - A yellow belly female. Growing her up for a year, then getting a yellowbelly male and breeding for Ivories.

Choice 2 - Getting a pair of het clowns, growing them up and seeing if I can get a clown. Clowns are one of my fav morphs.

Choice 3 - Getting a pair of het Pieds, Growning them up and breeding them to see if i can get a pied.

Choice 4 - Get a cheaper female visual morph like a pastel, pinstripe, spider or mojo.

Also if you could give a reason as to why you would do it, that would be great.

Thanks

All these options are of personal likes. I don't have an ivory or clown...was split between the 2 but the YBs won due to the fact that later on you will get more morphs and YBs really add a lot when mixed into other morphs.

[DarkSean]

Oh yeah thats a point. With the hets (clown and pied) it really stops after you have the morph you want. With the YB you can mix things up more I guess.

Not really,

Each morph can mix equally well - pumkin pied anyone?

it's no more true to say the YB stops with the ivory than it is to say the pied stops with the visual pied.

I say spend a week looking at morph pictures and buy the one that makes you dribble on your shoes.

I meant like instantly. I would have to see if I even got 1 clown/pied and then grow them up for another 3 years, and then go from there.

I am leaning towards the YBs at the moment, but I also like the idea of buying a morph and instantly having one

I'm not a fan of het x het pairings because the normals are 66% possible het and I hate uncertainty. If you really like the clown you could get a het female now and save/find a way to get a visual later. You could do the same with a piebald, they are quite a bit cheaper on average, but it might be worth it to get what you favor. I chose option #4 because I like the crosses and supers of all those more than yellowbellies/ivories.

I Agree. I want a pied but I don't want to end up with a bunch of poss hets so I'm going to wait until I can buy a pied outright so I don't have to deal with chance. If you want to have any chance of selling any of the snakes you produce go for a codom/dom because it's almost impossible for a newb to sell hets. I also like some of the other white snakes better than ivories and the non-super versions are cooler IMO than yellowbellies.

I went with het clowns because you wrote something important clowns are one of your fav's.

[Southernshooter]

I voted 4 because I love basic morphs like spiders, pins, pastels, and so forth. But like Emilio said if clowns are your favorite go with them.

[DarkSean]

Clowns are one of my favs, but I also love pieds, ivories and cheaper morphs. Its trying to figure out which one will be best.

Looks like pieds are winning in the vote off, and I am leaning that way. Pieds are a great morph.

Ahhh the choices!!!
