Hmmm. Interesting.

So, I've been reading everyones posts about breeding their snakes and it's spiked my curiosity.
As some of you probably noticed by now, I absolutely adore my ball python Blue.. (Normal Female)
I was wondering if I'd be capable of breeding her, or another required ball python. (I do have to admit, I would be very nervous breeding her for my first time.) Now, please don't start attacking me for getting into something I don't know about, that's why I'm posting this. I'm not looking to start this for a few years now. I have a few years of school ahead of me, and thought it might be an interesting way to pay off some student debt, but I want to do my research and plan it right.
And everyone here knows their stuff so well, who better to ask?
I actually have a few questions to start the wheel moving.
First are there any certain websites or books you'd suggest? I'm already all over google, but you can't trust everything on the internet so any good sources you guys know of that I could read, if even for my own knowledge even if I never act on it. (Anything from actually breeding to genetics which I want to research a lot more in itself)
My next question would be, if I were to use Blue in my breeding project what male morph would you suggest? I was considering a male pewter maybe to start, because they aren't that expersive themselves, and when paired with a normal female I (think) they produce cinnys, pastel jugles, and more pewters? Is there anything better that anyone can think of, that wouldn't cost more than a thousand or so canadian dollars?
Or is there a completely different pairing you would suggest?
I'm sorry if this thread is a litter of the forum, just thinking about it a lot lately, and wanted to know other peoples opinions. Again, this isn't something I want to just go jump into, but I am interested by it.
