    Smile Help me pick my first morph

    I hope this is the right forum to post this in. Anyways, i've got two lovely normals, but i really want a morph to round out my first collection. So here is where i need advice.

    I'm looking for something that

    a. is not SUPER expensive, i cant pay 5000$ for a pet right now. i'm no breeder, so i won't be making any money back on it.

    b. something that doesn't look like a normal with a slight variation. i want something that looks really different.

    c. no odd neurological side effects (i.e. wobbles)

    Which morph do you guys think i should start with?

    Pinstripes aren't that expensive especially for males and I think they look pretty different

    Bumblebee or Kingpin Of course "not super expensive" doesn't really tell us what your price range is.

    Note: A wobble doesn't have to be a bad thing. My bee and his spider daughter only shake a little when excited to feed, and it's actually pretty darn cute!

    Someone who wasn't interested in breeding also asked this question and they settled for a great looking lesser .

    Lessers are a pattern AND color morph! They're one of my favorites to mix into other morphs. I would get a female regardless of whether or not you plan to breed . Plans change , and having a lesser female big enough to breed when you decide to give it a try should be a great feeling .

    Everyone likes pieds, and they look awesome to people who don't even like snakes .

    I would also like to know your budget. There's some pretty cool snakes you can get for less than 500, and there's some seriously SWEET snakes you can get for less than 1000, especially if you get a good deal .

    Super pastel is my pick. You can get males for under $400, and they are brighter than a regular pastel.

    Don't forget about the 'plain old" Albino! For the price...What looks more different from a normal than an Albino?

    Whats your price range? I used to consider the $500+ range superrrr expensive. That is until i spent $850 on a snake

    You tell us what you want to spend and we'll be able to give you a good suggestion. So far suggestions have ranged from about $150-$1,000. Thats a pretty big margin lol. My other suggestion is since males a generally cheaper and you only want it as a pet i would definetly get a male.

    The margin is so wide because everyone has their own opinion on an "expensive" snake. I think $500 for a crazy looking morph is good. I think $1000 is the starting point for "expensive". It all boils down to what you can afford . Once we get an answer from the OP about how much they're looking to spend, we can give him better answers . So far, all we got is "not $5000" LOL. Okay! Get pastel pied! Or a lavender albino! LOL
