    Racking my Brain on What to Get :(

    So far I think I've decided on a sugar female.

    I know I want to produce reduced patterns/BELs/Ivorys/Pied/Albinos. I understand what makes what, there's just so many decisions that I don't know what to get?

    I know from the 3 females I get I'll know what male to get down the line but until then. can I get some recommendations on what to get besides the Sugar? I know I'll have to spend some coin to get both albinos and pieds so it'll probably be one or the other, I'm just not sure

    Any help is much appreciated as you guys know the morphs and combinations in your head while I'm spending hours on the Genetic Calculator!

    Do you like the look of Spieds (Piebald x Spider)? They're an all white snake except for the head of the Spider morph. If so, a nice reduced pattern Spider het Pied could be one of your girls.

    If your going with a sugar female i'd get a male with some pastel in it. high white pastel sugars are one of my favorite looking snakes.

    I would save your coin and go for a pied female. Then again pieds are my soft spot haha

    I would get a pied female first, then in a year or two get a male albino. Then you will be able to breed the two together,to get the albino pied. That's the plan I'am working on for myself. You can't go wrong with pied anything.

    You'd have to get a male albino het pied to get any visuals in the first breeding season. But he'd be pretty useless unless all/most of your girls carried albino or pied genes. Best bet is to get a visual male that's het for whichever recessive gene you prefer (or both )

    Plus the pied female would need to be het albino as well.

    you know what you want to make stick to your plan get a reduced pattern butter lesser or mojo to make you bel i like butter better lol do you want to make albino pieds or albinos and pieds because het albino females are not that much and just get a visual male later and you wouldnt have to worry about 66% hets same would go for pieds as well

    x2 on this. i would keep saving your money up until you can afford a visual (homozygous) pied or albino female. when you have to spend three years growing her up, you'll be happy you did. plus, you never have to worry if any of her babies are hets or not. that is a HUGE advantage.
