I mostly look for pairs that will either give me the widest possible range of morphs (and as few normals as possible) or that match up genetically.
This year I will have:
Sunlog male paired to a vibrant RO - looking purely to make really bright amels.
Ghost lavender paired to dark hypo het anery - she made some fascinatingly dark hypos last year when paired with the male's father, might keep back some this year.
Ghost lavender paired to Charcoal het amel - Ghost lav is 66% het charcoal, so het-checking with this pairing.
Anery to Ghost het amel - Sweetcorn project. The female I kept back from 2014 is incredible. Hoping to spread the best babies around to others wanting to work on this idea.
Wraith (phantom lavender) het diffused to Pewter - Charcoals and pewters out of my near black female, all het for hypo lavender diffused.
In 2017, my charcoal moonstone gal, my 'ghost lav' gal that I suspect might actually be a bansidhe, and their anery sister will be tested, as will Bansidhe himself. Lacy's son will also be big enough to breed, so hopefully I'll get some darker pewters out of them. With luck, my insanely red little amel will be big enough to pair with Dier, the 'sunlog' and my peppermint and Cathy's peppermint will go at it. That's going to my super crazy year.

What I did this year was take a genetic calculator and see what happens when I put each one of my males with each one of me females then I decide which set of results best suit what I want for the projects I have or want to get started. For example I have 3 coral snow females. I could breed them all to my coral ghost male, but then I would like have ton of coral ghost/snows that force me to take less then I would like fore them. So I am going to breed 1 to my orchid male and see what happens, 1 to my sunkissed male to test him for anery and confirm he is het amel and the 3rd to my coral ghost male. With those breedings I will learn more about my snakes genetics and give myself some fun projects down the road. That's how I pick anyway.

Cool. That is what I figured, but I am clueless in the genetics department and even worse at identifying morphs, all of mine are pretty basic morphs and I have no idea of hets in any of them!
Maybe someday I will try breeding some, but I will leave them as my cherished pets for now.

Did you have to bring a goat and a sack of wheat for the dowry?

I breed for whatever projects interest me first and foremost, but I do try to get varied enough clutches that I don't end up with a ton of one morph.
