I would first recommend that you work with snakes/morphs that you like. I think a lot of people get caught up in the money or latest hot morph rather then what they really liked to begin with. I started with pieds and they are still one of my favorites today. Also, before spending money on snakes I would make sure you get proper housing, thermostats, etc. I would slowly build your collection as if it gets too big too quick it may feel like a chore. And most important....have fun!!
