My theory is get quantity female morphs and a powerhouse male. If you just buy a 1.1 pair and spend the whole chunk of change on them it would be really disappointing if the female decides to wait 4-5 years before breeding. With $5K you can buy multiple projects like 4 female pastels @ $150 each and 1 male pastel yellowbelly @ $350 = $950 Have you seen the superpastel yellowbellies?? WOW!! Also with that male you could get a couple female fires @$350 each =$700 and go for yellowbelly fireflies. Thats $1650 so far. Add a couple female spiders @ $200 = $400 and a couple female pins @ 250 = $500 and get a male leopard @ $1500 = $2400. That's $4050 so far. Add a few random female like a mojave $250 (leopard male), Cinnamon $250(pastel yellowbelly) , and bumblebee $400 =$900 (leopard male)and you've spent $4950. This would give you plenty of diversity with the females and give you a couple powerful males that match up well with your females. The key is go female heavy and have a few powerhouse males. Buy what you like and cross your fingers! Let us know what you decide. Good luck Chris

Disregard my previous post I thought you had $5000 to spend on snake(s). The orange dream and GHI stuff is the direction I would head, but they match up well with my females. Chris

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

It would depend on what you like, and what females you have already. I have shyed away from the Desert project because of the whole fertility of the females issue. I like what the Desert and Desert combos look like as babies, but as adults they do not look as electric to me. I love my Pastel Champagne male, he has turned orange, starting off looking like a Super Mojave. Really cool to watch. If I had $5k to spend, I would spend it on a Desert Ghost male and a Co-Dom Het Desert Ghost female. I would use the male to make some cool Het females of my own, and go from there.
