Thinking about a third corn, but which one?

I am thinking about getting a third corn snake so that I can fill up my third cage in my 3 tier custom build ;-). But I am having a hard time on what morph to get.

I have one male:

and one female:

I was thinking about getting another male for breeding purposes. (I won't be breeding them for another good year and a half).

What type of morph would you suggest, for breeding purposes?
 
Im no expert in genetics or breeding but here it goes.
For a first time breeder(as i presume you are but correct me if I am wrong)having what you have I would get a Xanthic Snow then breed it to your Butter.Then Breed the F2's together to get 9 / 64 Caramel 66% poss het. Anery, Amel
9 / 64 Amel 66% poss het. Anery, Caramel
27 / 64 Normal 66% poss het. Anery, Amel, Caramel
9 / 64 Anery 66% poss het. Amel, Caramel
3 / 64 Butter ( Amel, Caramel ) 66% poss het. Anery
3 / 64 Snow ( Amel, Anery ) 66% poss het. Caramel
3 / 64 Anery Caramel ( Anery, Caramel ) 66% poss het. Amel
1 / 64 Xanthic Snow ( Amel, Anery, Caramel )
(Yes I used CornCalc to show this and to make sure i was correct)
Remember the 3 threes of breeding corns btw so nothing bad happens.;)And happy breeding.:)
 
Oh yeah(sorry for double post)remember that you are stuck with the babies in less you find homes for them and clutches can be large.
 
Yes I THINKthat is a Xanthic Snow.

There are a number of other morphs you could get too, all having their own possible morph outcomes.

I didn't mean to sound mean btw if I did.:)
 
Look through here http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/ and play with the corn calculator. Find a morph that appeals to you that fits with the genetics that you already have and find out what you could add to make that. I really think that the what should I breed question is a personal decision. The market it not great so no one is going to make a quick buck so we might as well breed babies that we find interesting and appeal to us.
