What to pair him with?

A good sized lesser would be too expensive for me, and I can't find any good sized cinnamons either.

How about another black pastel for all black snake?

Cant go wrong witha pastel then, make yourself some black pewters

Alright, thanks guys.

Have you seen the ghost black pastels? (hypomelanistic black pastel) Those guys look amazing! Also another good combo is with a mojave. You can make some "black magic". I really love the darker morph combo's. The black pastel is a very underrated morph in my opinion.

If you can find a nice pastel that's what I would do. I just got 2 pastels (1male and 1female) for $275.

A spider would also be cool. I wouldn't worry about wobble. I have a spider and his wobble is only apparent when he gets really excited. Even at its worst for him it isn't an issue at all.

I love black pastel lessers/butters as well as black pastel yellow bellies. I don't think there is any reason to rush, why not just buy a hatchling female of whatever you want and raise it up for a few years before breeding? They are much more affordable that way.

The only problem is that I only have two years before college, and already have a male who is 250+ grams. Trying to get a female of 500 grams is proving to be quite hard, since the only ones I can find under $300 are normals. Thinking of going with a 350 gram pastel, but I don't know if she would be ready to breed in a year. I love ghost/hypo black pastels, but that would mean two breedings, which I don't have time for.

In all honesty, if you are trying to rush I think you picked the wrong animals to breed

What are you planning on doing with the snakes when you go to college then...?
