Right i was gonna start breeding next year, but have now acquired 2 female normals which are ready to breed this season
The thread below explains my situation a bit better:

So now im looking at getting a male. As the other thread says i have found a suitable male i could purchase. Now trouble is ive been looking around (im the UK btw) and ive found a few more interesting males i could possibly stretch to. 1 is a black pastel pewter (black pastel x pastel) which would blow my whole budget for a male. However ive found a few other single gene breeding weight morphs (a cinnamon, yellowbelly, and fire) and these are a 1/3 of the price of the black pastel pewter.

Bearing in my mind my aim this year is just to hatch a successful clutch, as i need experience of handling eggs and such like before i invest in multi gene animals next year what you guys recommend? Now obviously if i go for the single gene chances are im gonna get 50% normals, and only 25% with the black pastel pewter. (is 25% pastel, 25% Black pastel, 25% blk pastel pewter and 25% normal correct for a pairing with a normal female btw?)

However cinnamon, yellowbelly, and fire are all morphs that interest me for future plans, more so than pastel/black pastel.

The black pastel pewter is stunning snake though. My hearts telling me black pastel pewter, my heads telling me cinnamon and yellowbelly.
Would pairing both males with both females be OK? im thinking it would maximise my chances off success.

As i said i wasnt planning breeding this year so please forgive my lack of knowledge on the technical aspects as its turning into a mad rush now to get some males and get em Quarantined before pairing. Rest assured i will be reading my ECO book when it comes (supposed to arrive today but it hasnt ) and im pretty clued up on BP husbandry and i do keep a GTP and dwarf boa so im not a total noob. Thanks guys
