I personally like the tangerines, but you should get what you like. Take your time and look around till you find one that really looks great to you.

I used to just love blizzards, and i have two(1.1) but now that i also have a reduced pattern, hypo, albino and patternless along with my normal........i can't say i prefer one over the other anymore. I never used to like the look of the albinos
(mine is a tremper) but now i'm really starting to like them, and want to expand my collection to include the other albino types.

As Sara said, take your time and see what you like. One minute you might love one morph the next might like another hehehe.

On your personal preferences and your budget. The best advice I can give is to work with what you personally feel is beautiful and exciting. What morphs do you love? What is the most beautiful gecko you can imagine? My dream is to create a blinding orange hybino (selectivly-bred patternless) carrottail leopard gecko, so I am working towards that in my line.

Some other words of advice:

Get the best male you can afford.

Look at genetic potential as well as appearance (e.g. hets) Values can often be found there.

Think 2, 3, and even 5 years ahead...not just at what you will produce next year.

Outcrossing is an investment in your line, and in the vigor of the animals you produce.

Good luck, whatever you choose, and have fun!

My favorite are normals or snows. They both are awesome. I like snows probably better because they still have the nice spotting but are all white. That's really attractive.
