If it were me, I'd get a female that is het hypo in addition to 1 or 2 dom or codom genes. That way you will get both hypos and non-hypos in the clutch.

A blast (pastel pinstripe) het hypo should be fairly inexpensive, and would yield a wide variety of nice combos. Hypo spinner blast being the "jackpot" combining all of the genes, but you'd also get pastels, pinstripes, spiders, bumblebees (pastel spider), blasts (pastel pinstripe), and spinners (spider pinstripe), and all of those could also be hypo. So that's a total of 14 different possible morphs!

Any female with 2 dom or codom genes that is also het hypo would give 14 possibilities, the only question would be whether or not all 14 would be something you'd want to produce. To find out what you like, as well as what is available in your price range, start browsing such places as the "bp pictures" section of this forum, kingsnake classifieds, and fauna classifieds. WOBP has already been mentioned, and that is great for playing around with once you start to have some ideas, but I found it a little hard to use when you don't even know what genes you want to consider, so I wouldn't start there.
