Undecided about breeding and genetics

[Daigga]

It all boils down to what you like. Sure, there are some morphs that people get into because of value in addition to how pretty they are. However, if spiders happen to be your thing, by all means play with that gene. Combine it, cross it, make pretty snakes, do what makes you happy. As someone who is also just starting to expand my collection in hopes of breeding, I'm looking into morphs that I like, but are also affordable. My collection right now includes a normal sub adult female, a juvenile normal female, and a baby mojave female, and I have a breeder sized male lesser bee coming in on Tuesday. Obviously I have some time on my hands, in addition to some space to gather up a few more genes before I can really start going (No rush, last thing I want is to dive head first and come up shallow).

Back to my original point; look into any gene(s) you're interested in and pursue it if you feel like it. Everyone will tell you something different, because everyone has different tastes. My advice to you as someone in a similar position is to do what makes you happy for now and worry about profitability after you get a better feel for breeding. Maybe invest in a normal? You can get breeding weight adults for crazy cheap (and readily available, adults of any morph are a pain to find and usually expensive), and if your first clutch comes out a bust it's no huge monetary loss.
