    I think everyone can agree that you should get what you like

    What kind of morphs do you enjoy?
    Light morphs? Dark morphs?

    That would be a good starting point
    0.1 Butter
    0.2 Pastel
    0.1 Cinnamon
    0.1 Bumblebee
    0.1 Cinnamon Mystic
    0.4 Black Pewter
    0.1 Lemonblast
    0.1 Black Pastel Pinstripe
    1.0 Super Pastel
    1.0 Coral Glow
    1.0 Coral Glow Mojave


    Coming soon:
    1.0 Super Emperor

    I would get 2 females if I were you (if you are getting younger snakes, which are cheaper), because they take about twice-ish as long to grow to breeding size. You can always add males down the line.
    Females: 0.1 fire; 0.1 sugar; 0.1 GHI; 0.1 pinstripe het desert ghost; 0.1 mojave spider; 0.2 mojave; 0.1 black pewter blast; 0.1 leopard pied; 0.1 champagne; 0.1 pied; 0.1 super pastel lesser; 0.1 pewter; 0.1 spider het pied, 0.1 bumblebee; 0.1 lesser; 0.1 spider; 0.1 normal; 0.3 het pied
    Males: 1.0 het desert ghost; 1.0 pastel pied; 1.0 leopard; 1.0 black pastel; 1.0 enchi; 1.0 mojave; 1.0 cinnamon; 1.0 pied; 1.0 vanilla

    Other species: 1.0.3 pacman frogs (sunkissed, super apricot, super blue, super lime green); 0.2 crested gecko; 1.0 hypo hog island boa; 0.1 normal boa; 1.0 rottweiler; 1.0 chihuahua

    Well, I'm a sucker for bumblebees, lessers, butters and enchi's.

    I assume that you want your Pastel to be your male, so I would go for 2 or more females.

    If you want, you could get any of those, or a 2 gene morph.
    Other recommendations would be fire and mojave.

    Those are just my opinions though
    0.1 Butter
    0.2 Pastel
    0.1 Cinnamon
    0.1 Bumblebee
    0.1 Cinnamon Mystic
    0.4 Black Pewter
    0.1 Lemonblast
    0.1 Black Pastel Pinstripe
    1.0 Super Pastel
    1.0 Coral Glow
    1.0 Coral Glow Mojave

    I agree with 2 females. Depending how much you want to spend, id definitly go Enchi. Either Combo or straight up. And a Bee would be a good second choice as they are about the same price as an Enchi. But id say Kingpin or Pewter also!

    2 females for sure.
    Some light morph suggestions that go very well with pastel: lesser/butter, enchi, fire, a pastel combo.
