    Thumbs down Selecting Morphs for future breeding.

    I'm starting a collection of ball python morphs. So far I have a cb11 firefly male and a really clean cb11 bumblebee female.
    I was thinking of adding a cb11 pewter male, cb10 lesser female, cb11 superpastel female and another female (can't decide yet).
    I was thinking this would give me some good breeding combinations in the future.
    I'm new to this. Have I made any obvious mistakes with the morphs I've selected?

    Sounds like a great plan! I highly recommend getting as large a variety of dom/incomplete-dom traits in females. A pewter and a firefly as breeder males sounds wonderful.

    Re: Selecting Morphs for future breeding.

    Sounds like an excellent start to me! For your undecided girl, I'd go for something with enchi or calico in it. They aren't always the flashiest individual morphs, but I LOVE what they do in combos!
