Our first ball python morphs (and only to date) are a Pastel Orange Ghost and a Pastel Het Orange Ghost.

It took us a few years of keeping herps after college before we decided to pick up a BP morph project. My gf decided she really was interested in a SPOG project, so we just waited a good 5 or 6 months until we came across the animals we wanted.

My first 'morph' snake was in fact my FIRST snake ever, an amel corn snake 17 years ago. Never bred it.

As for 'where to start out'? Well the first thing you have to do is learn to take care of these animals. I'd heartily suggest reading up on their care, and when you've prepared a home for a new animal, go shopping for one. There's nothing wrong with buying a morph with no intention of breeding it, and just having a beautiful animal to show off. If that's the case, shop for a male morph, as they tend to be less pricey than a female who looks very similar. If you think you might want to breed sometime down the road, I'd suggest getting a female, as they take longer to get up to size, and you're going to need one anyways.

In the end, the best place to start out is just finding an eye-appealing animal that excites you and learn to take care of it
