    Re: advice for an aspiring breeder

I have been looking at an unsexed pied, a female lesser and a female mojave. All of the a above make at least one morph i absolutely love (blue eyed lucy being one of the favorites), but if I was to bring in others down the road which will have the best morph options. I know this is a mostly opinion question, but the genetic pool for ball pythons is so deep I've been having trouble keeping it straight which comes from which. I also plan to keep the number small as they are going to mostly be a hobby/pet, I have a job that covers all the bills now so profit from this would be nothing more than a perk to something I think I will really enjoy. Other options are certainly welcome as I'm sure there are others I have yet to even see, I would like to keep the individual snake prices below $750-1000 each if possible though.

    Thanks in advance
    1. Pass on the "unsexed" Pied.
    2. Get females before males.
    3. Don't worry about profits as there won't be any.
    4. Check out morphs on sites like worldofballpythons.com and find what you like. It also tells you how to make them.
    5. Anything with Enchi rules.
