I got a proven normal female last weekend for $95. Our intent is to breed to our 2yr old spider to get some spider hatchlings for next year. Your best bet might be to go a similar route - get a normal adult female and a codominant morph male. That will all but guarantee you'll get some morph out of the breeding, and you still have enough time yet where you can get an underweight male and probably still have him ready to breed within the next couple of months.

Keep in mind that provens are more expensive than unprovens but they're less of a gamble, and that males are less expensive than an identical female...base your budget on that.
