It depends on the amount of money you have to spend and how much time you have to dedicate to breeding. If you had, say, $7000. You could buy one Caramel Albino and a couple of normals. Get hets from the breeding. Breed them and get Caramels, Hets, and normals. 4 year minimum involvement. Or you could get 14 Pastels at roughly $500 a piece. Breed them and get Pastels, Super Pastels, and normals. Sell the babies and buy more expensive morphs. Or any number of combos, Albino/Spiders, Hypo/clowns...

But, the thing to consider, statistics/genetics are not facts. They are only potential. Breeding Hets. could produce normal looking babies for years before you see a morph.

If you get lucky, Hets are the cheapest way to get in though.
