    Asking for opinions (because this will never happen again) :)

    Alright friends, I have the opportunity to spend more money than expected on snakes. I may wait until the Narbc next month, but o wanted to narrow down what I'm looking for. I have about $1200 to work with, which is a lot of money for me. I am good on makes, so I will be looking for females, but I have a few different ways I could go. I could get several co com females. More mouths to feed but more eggs laid when the time comes. I could get a nice multi gene female and only have one more mouth to feed. Something nice like a firefly, vanilla cream, BEL, super pastel lesser etc. Or, I could buy a female or two that are ready to breed. My het pied girl would be the only one possibly ready for next year, but not unless she gets to eating. So...if you were me, keeping in mind both a business decision and beauty, what would you do with the money? Thanks in advance!

    How about a list of what you have for males...

    I say get ya 1-2 big girls ready to go with 1200 I would get a mojave,or a pastel and spider or pastel and yellow belly or pastel and something else the reason I say pastel is cause your males all male good combos with pastels even though they will be hets with the albino and pied but that's just the recessive part of my brain popin out if I had 1200 and looking to buy a outstanding set I would buy a double gene male say a fire fly or kingpin and something that will go great with them like a bee or lemon blast,pewter,pastel yellow belly etc... But this is just my .02

    Ready to go (or close to it) female pied. Breed her to the Pied and Albino. If you get all Pieds, the dad is Pied, if you get normals, the Albino is dad....or you can get a mix of both which would be my ultimate goal for a female breeding both males.

    Your collection:
    1.0 Pastel bp
    1.0 Albino
    1.0 Piebald
    0.1 Het pied
    0.1 Pewter

    This is tough haha. I can't say what to add that would work with all your snakes ... Firefly female would be perfect no matter what haha

    Just throwing it out there but maybe some sort of Super het. Albino/Pied may be a nice addition? Because then you're at least guaranteed to get some combos or at least some base morphs where as breeding Co-Doms to Co-Doms can kind of be up in the air? You can get some combos, some bases, or some normals, you just don't know. With Supers, I see efficiency and a guarantee.

    You couldn't go wrong with a female morph het albino or pied (black pastel albinos are WICKED! And I'm a fan of pumpkin pieds)

    All very good suggestions. I hadn't thought of putting a pied girl to my pied and albino. I also want a mojo girl at some point, but I'm so picky and haven't found one I liked. May have to wait for this years babies to hatch. With all the cool stuff with yellowbelly, I may look for an ivory girl too. I can't wait until Feb for the show. I have no patience.
