Ok - let me just say that starting off with normals is fine - don't let anyone else tell you that you HAVE to breed morphs your first year running. There are a lot of things that can happen between now and then and the last thing you want to do is to find out that you spent all this money on snakes and the necessities and your girlfriend, wife, mother, landlord, etc. is not going to let you keep the snakes, or that you just don't have the time, money, enthusiasm anymore for the hobby. Starting out with a few normals is fine, maybe you can pick up a fairly cheap pastel male this season and a normal female and go from there. It's not a race to see who can have the biggest badest collection - its a hobby to enjoy.



Best of luck with whatever route you choose!
