Question about morphs and genders.

[200xth]

I am planning on purchasing a pair of ball pythons in the next month. After doing a ton of research, I know that I eventually want to make a hobby of breeding. The pair I was going to start with is a spider and a pastel.

My question ultimately is does it matter with this pairing which is the female and which is the male, given they're both single gene?

TIA for any help or guidance!

It doesn't matter for this pairing, but it may for future ones.

Make a list of combos you want to make someday. If you see a lot of pastel based combos, you may want to get a pastel male so you can use him with multiple females. Conversely, if you see a lot of spider combos on your future wish list, you may want to get a male spider.
