Hey, I'm new to these forums and I'm looking for some suggestions. I'm going to get 2, possibly 3 more corns from this years hatchlings, and I was wondering which ones people suggest to get and why? I currently own a motley (which I believe to be male, although i'm going to get it sexed soon) and a female amel. I'm looking to breed them in a few years so which ones would produce the 'nicest' babies?! I'm currently thinking of maybe a charchol, a normal or a hypo?! As I'm fairly new to the hobby I don't really know what all the different kinds of corns look like when they are older (I've seen pics but it's hard to get an accurate idea from some of them). Cheers! :D
 
Here's my 2 pence:

You can get a miami with the whitest background you can find and breed it to your amel to get a possible candycane (assuming the miami is het for amel). Or you can get some rather stunning miami's with white background (high demand).

Or you can get a blood red (if your wallet can handle it) and you can get some strange things with that (blood red seems to be quite a complex gene).

Charcoal is a good idea, but you need a hypo snake to do anything interesting (produce ghosts), and it'll take 2 generations atleast.

Like the idea of candycane's. Anyone got any pics of miami's and candycanes?

Forgot about ghosts!! Love the look of them. The breeder I got my snakes from has a couple of them and they are stunning but they won't be ready for breeding until next yr so I'll have to wait for them!

Just have to convince my girlfriend that we want more snakes now!! ;)
 
Learn a little in the process...

I'd suggest looking at the different morphs and find one that really knocks your socks off. Figure out which genetic characteristics it would take to create it, and acquire those morphs. The benefit of this is that you get to learn a little about genetics while figuring out what you like.
