problem is most of them scream at me haha i think ill get a pair of brendli and a pair of jungles that sounds good and then ill wait for a nice pair of jags when i can afford it. i pritty much knew that already i was just curious of different peoples opinions on the locals and the morphs

Here's a link to a thread with quite a few morphs pictured.
Maybe it will help you decide.

It all depends on what you can afford to purchase, house, feed and what size range you want one to stay in. If you want a small one, get an Irian Jaya. They tend to stay in the 4-6 ft. range, Jungles get around 5-7 ft., and coastals range from 5-9 ft.
4-6 ft. Carpets can be kept in 3x2x1.5 ft cages and 6+ft. carpets should be kept in 4x2x1.5 ft cages. Size can differ though, as there have been 6 ft. adult coastals and 8 ft. Irian Jayas, just be prepared.
And BTW, Jaguars are not that expensive anymore. They have gotten down to about $475-700, very affordable.
I myself like the Irian Jayas, coastals, diamonds and diamond crosses. The last three tend to be in the larger range. All are very affordable and most are or become calm in their lifetime.

Kevin, the jungles tend to be black and yellow.

Cheers!

Shag is cool and you could get one of those awesome rakes....sorry can't help it...

I like most of them, dig the big coastals and the JCP's...love the high contrast stuff the most out of them all I think.

I like diamonds, but if space and money is an issue it would seem the IJ could be a good choice.
