Well, I would personally would keep them paired to their own subspecies. You could also get some of "Godfrey's" very cool locality "Greenish" morphs too. This is a VERY unique morph from a very unique looking wild caught animal, and he later produced hets from this single animal, and now has visual morphs of these. If you look down a good ways, you could find some of his posts of these very interesting snakes. They are WAY COOL!, and are likely a form of hypomelanism, as he has produced two different phenotypes from the same clutch. It is probably very similar to the "extreme" hypo gene in Honduran milks, where they can produce extremes and darker hypos as well from the same clutch. They are a very new deal, and you would be in on the first floor so to speak to work with them. "Kevin M" on the forums also just acquired a couple hets from him too.
