Help me with my next BP purchase! Best business / breeding strategy wanted.

[Daigga]

Buying adult females is tempting for sure, I gave in early on and purchased a big normal girl. Looking back, my money might have been better spent elsewhere, but that doesn't change the fact that she's due to drop my very first clutch in the next week or two. I've seen some other adult females of various morphs at shows, but I don't think I'll be rushing into buying any more of them over younger, nicer looking females that don't have the full-grown price tag premium. Bear in mind, most of these proven breeder females for sale are pretty low quality, and paying almost half the price for a much better quality hatchling and putting in the time to raise it up will end up being a better investment in the long run.

I am a big fan of dramatic morphs that are easy to pick out of a bunch. Sure fires, vanillas, and spotnoses can be very pretty and hold colors well into adulthood, but they're still to subtle for my tastes. When I get excited and go to show people who may not be familiar with snakes what I have, I like for them to very clearly see how wildly different the animal I'm showing them is from what they're used to seeing. That's just my personal thing, though. I love the look of lessers and cinnamon combos, and my lesser bee is probably my most handsome fellow. I've said before, I really like the colors of a hatchling lesser bee (coffee and cream looking), but I absolutely adore the adult coloration (gold and toasted almond). Sometimes it isn't about retaining color, sometimes a beautiful transition can be just as stunning.

Recessives, like BrianDallek said, are always nice projects. Everyone loves a pied, period. Also, lavender albinos are by far the best example of that beautiful transition color change I mentioned before. Lavs only get better with age! Honestly, there are a lot of awesome and practical morphs and combos you could add at this point, the sky is pretty much the limit.
