    What ball python morphs should I get into?

    I have been breeding normal's for 2 seasons now. Now that I have some experience under my belt and money from my part timer, I want to start getting into raising/ breeding morphs oh these awesome animals. There is a expo coming up in about a month by that time I will have about 1300 to spend give or take. I want to get 3 or 4 snakes, but open minded to any suggestions.. I need your guys and girls help.. Thanks!!

    Personally I would look for a nice 2 gene male like a pewter, pastel yellowbelly, bumble bee. I would also look for a few nice single morph females. I would base them off the male that I had decided on.

    If u breed a bumblebee to a normal u can get bumblebees jungle pastels and spiders. It kinda breaks the morph back down and u can still get bumblebees

    I agree. A couple double gene animals would be good. A nice butter pastel, lemon blast, or black pewter. If it were me id get recessive stuff...but that's me.

    Re: What ball python morphs should I get into?

    You should get a bumble bee. I currently have a bumble bee male and a pastel female and will be getting a normal female to also pair with him. If you breed a bumble bee to a normal you will get bumble bees, pastels, spiders, and normals. Then you can hold back a female pastel and breed it to the bumble bee and get some killer bees, super pastels, bumble bees, pastels, and spiders. But, that is just my opinion.

    The market is killed with so-so Bumble Bees and Lemon Blasts right now. I would find a different direction that you like.

    Possible Males I would consider:
    Fire YB
    Vanilla Pin
    Fire Fly
    Black Pewter

    I would then get a Vanilla or Fire Female to round out the group for now.

    That is my opinion, there really are a million ways to go on this one.
