I know it is tempting to buy up a bunch of pastel adult females just to get the ball rolling on breeding, but don't. I will tell you why....Taking care of a bunch of snakes is work, from feeding to cleaning and the whole breeding process..it is work. You will grow very tired of this work unless you really like each and every snake you own. Also there are guys who keep thousands of BP's playing the quantity game. You need to focus on the quality game. Everyone can point you in a direction as far as gene's to pick, but ultimately pick something you want and then keep your eye open for a quality example of that animal. Don't just buy a spotnose pastel lesser because it has 3 genes that you want, buy it cause it is the nicest one you have seen. However since you are going to be selling these hatchlings you need to pick something that will sell, either online or locally. Co-doms are the most instant gratification, but Recessives are where you should be looking in my opinion. Some that I like: black pastel ghosts & anything pied. You can afford a female now and pick up a male in a couple years. If you insist on Co-doms then can i suggest Lessers, Leopards, Vanillas. A super vanilla like you said is a great animal and not a lot of people are working with them. Banana's are so SOOOOOOO overdone right now. everybody and their brother put a banana male to half of their females & the banana gene has a way of masking the quality of the other genes. A banana dirty lesser looks the same as a banana clean lesser. You get the idea. Sorry for rambling, but just giving some ideas for you to toss around! good luck!
