I am not very experienced with balls myself, since I have only been working with them a few years but one of the best tricks to the trade I would say is be patient and don't expect the odds to hit big all the time. Do to the fact you have some reptile experience I would assume you already know this but it if not it can be a very disappointment lesson to learn.



As far as morphs go, there are all kinds of colors and patterns out there, pastels, clowns, lesser, albinos, lavender albinos, phantoms, pieds, spiders, and more. The biggest thing I would recommend when picking a starting group is to pick animals that have patterns you like or have part of the patterns you need to make the animal you hope to hatch out someday.



Also I would recomend getting morph females, and a good male rather then getting a great male and all normal females. You can pick up female pastels for under $200 and they add a huge power to your odds compared to a normal. Starting out it may not be a huge deal but all the bigger breeders I know really don't like hatching out normals because they end up wholesaling hundreds and some maybe thousands for $10-$25 each... maybe even less.
