well what morphs do you like.? Some morphs are easier to produce than others. On the low end you could make hypos with your snake and a hypo mate, on the high end you could do it with a Motley. These are called co-dominant or incomplete dominant genes. Some morphs have a recessive gene though like anerythrism or albinism. If you want to make those you can't get there with a normal individual, you need hets for albino or an albino and a het albino to make them, likewise with anerys. To get a real special snake though you will sepnd many hours pouring over the classifieds, and you will do it everyday for a long time until you find the right individual. Or you can spend hours and hours looking at sites of the people who produce the special morph you're looking for. Maybe you'll never find the right mate if it is all that special too.

I would ask why you want to do this too? I think most of us do it to make the best snake possible. If you are doing this for money I don't think you should do this. There are better investments to have.
