Upcoming show and want some advice

[Centexsnakes]

I am going to go to a reptile show end of August, I am wanting to pick up a nice two gene ball male to breed with my normal Samantha, probably will get a corn snake to cause they are just pretty, and I had a run in with a 5ft rat snake the other day in my yard, got tagged, it was awesome! Such powerful creature, had to try and hold it lol, but anyways, I'm looking for suggestions, I love pinstripes, so something with that would be cool, also like mojaves! Just can't make up my mind, was thinking either with pastel, all very pretty snakes! so I guess I'm asking what will I probably be looking at price wise for the ball and the corn? Mainly concerned with the ball so I posted it here, of in the wrong spot sorry, please move, but this has been a great site that's helped me a lot with all my critters so I thought I would ask! Looking forward to the responses

Albino pins are a great looking animals. So are spinners. Just find one that you think you like the most.

Albino pins are still looking in the 1000's range, even babies.

A super pastel, pastel, mojo, super mojo are also good. A super to normal will increase the chance of hitting the morphs. and you will have a pretty snake, as you seem interested in
Also you could start a project if you raise up a morph baby to breed back to the morph parent.

Thanks for the responses. Ya, I'm just unsure on what I might pick up, guess we will see what jumps out and grabs my attention! Lol

A 2 gene male won't be too much, probably in the 250-500 range depending on what you choose. I don't have a corn anymore, but I usually see them at shows for 30-100, again depending on the morph.

I would consider an amimal with two of the same dominant or co-dominant genes. That way when you breed it, you will always get a morph. With that, any BEL would be nice, Mystic Potion, Silver Bullet, Super-Black Patel or -Cinimon, etc. You can always use the single gene animals these produce to make other neat things, if that's in your future.
In breeding, you'll always want genes to 'yellow' things up. So Supers of these genes are nice to have as well. Genes like Yellow belly, Pastel, Fire, etc.

That's just how I think.

You say you like mojaves, pinstripes, and pastels...so why not a jigsaw or pastel jigsaw? I really like that combo myself and already have the makings for pastel jigsaws Good choice!

Also, what show? I know the NARBC is the first part of August. I believe you're in the Dallas area. That show is the BEST as far as shows in your area.

That's one I've been wanting to go to! If you can make the drive, go up to the NARBC. So far its the best show I've been to.
