Ever morph is a great investment but if I had to choose 3 to work with it would have to be........



1. Pastel- I would choose pastels only because you can produce them fast and because alot of new-comers in this market cannot afford the HIGH priced morphs and they end up buying a pastel. with pastels you will be able to sell lots of them and make great money in the process. Also because all you need is 1.1 pastels. Breed the male to the female to hopefully produce supers, without having to spend the money to buy one, so in a way ur getting 2 morphs (pastel and Super) for the price of pastels. And you breed that male pastel to a nice group of normal females and produce a nice amount of pastels. Great Investment there.....



2. Genetic Stripe- I would say this because at the moment they are not really being crossed in with other morphs at the moment, but the still have a GREAT price and the price has barely moved, and when it is crossed with other morphs, the price for it will go up. So you are getting a snake that sells HIGH priced hets, and the price will eventually go up when it starts it phase of being bred to all of the other morphs. Another Great Investment there.......



And lastly........



3. Lesser- These snakes are great eye pieced. The eye loves them! Plain and simple....We have only seen a couple years of breeding with them and we have seen lessers, platty daddies, pastel lessers, blonde pastel lesser, and LUCYS come from them in just a short period of time, and JUST WAIT until they are bred to all of the other morphs........So much can come from them and they yeild a price tag to show for it.....



So those are what I would invest in, it works out Great because your in a High Priced Market, A Market for newbies, And a New Morphs Ground Floor Market.......



It wont be anything but great for your investment and your love of the animals
