    If you were starting from scratch, which morphs would you choose?

    If you were starting from scratch to build a business in breeding ball pythons, what 6 balls would you get?

    My list for starting out is:

    1 Male bumble bee
    2 Male lemon blast
    3 Female pastel
    4 Female pastel
    5 Male mojave
    6 Female mojave

    1-4 would be for breeding projects to test my luck and see if I could strike some sweet morphs eventually (killer bee!). The mojaves would be to try for a super mojave.

    I am 50/50 on a M & F albino to replace the mojaves but those super mojaves are just too cool!

    I look forward to reading other people's responses and feel free to include why you chose those particular snakes.

    Disclaimer: This is just a hypothetical question and I only ask to see what other people think. I will probably try my luck at breeding ball pythons in the future and that is what sparked my question, but I will only do so as a hobby and not as a business.

    1.1 Mojave
    1.0 lesser

    That is pretty close to what I was going to start out with too. Only the Lesser would have been a pinstripe. I think that is a pretty reasonable way to start out because they are cool morphs to learn with and won't break the bank.

    Ideally, (and with unlimited funds!) I would start off with all females, and double, triple, or quadruple morph combos.

    I am happy with what I have right now. But with unlimited funds, the sky is the limit. I'd probably invest in sub-adult recessive and double co-dom females and a couple quad males.

    Too funny! No, I didn't forget the boy - just don't need him for a while, until these girls get up to size (I'm just starting out, remember).

    Anyway, it's my dream and I can dream however I want!
