IMHO

well if is a normal motley not het for anything. You will not get much just normals and motleys (if the female is a mot or het mot). Your best bet would be to buy a "genetic grab bag" as it is called.

These are corns that are het and possible het for numerious hets usually 3-4. These are usually the "leftovers" from trying to produce a double or triple recessive gene snake.

Breed yours to one of these and then breed the F2 generations together or back to the grab bag snake and then you should get a clutch of numerious morphs.

You can usually pick a grab bag snake up cheap, but you could possible make some cool stuff with it (if the snake gods are on your side).
