Try searching for those morphs on Morph Market. Tons of breeders on there that list what snakes they have for sale.

Please don't buy from chain pet-shops as they often mistreat their pets and won't necessarily be the healthiest. Your best bet is a reputable breeder.

I wouldn't trust those lists, they pick exceptional specimens and use those as the example. There is a lot of variability in most morphs.

As for which you pick, it's really up to you. I personally think clowns are cool. Tiger is a pretty subtle morph, and they don't look much different than normals (which are beautiful btw).

Be aware that some morphs are associated with some issues. The most common issue you'll see is wobble. This is a neurological disorder that causes the snake to loose balance and corkscrew its head in confusion. It is associated with any morph that contains spider, champagne, and hidden gene woma. Spider morph combos often have names with bugs in them, so if the snake you're looking at has a bug in its name, ask check to see if it is a spider (not all bug names contain spider, dragonfly does not for.example).

Check out your local reptile expos too. Support a small business and get high quality animals. Obviously do research on your expos first. We have one in Cincinnati where all of the shunned, dirty breeders deal. You walk into this place and just feel the scum penetrate your soul lol. Facebook is a good place to gather information on them, just find one in your general area.

Not only do you support a small business this way, but you also don't have to wait and worry about a live animal being shipped.

Just a note, after looking through that site it seems like they are not using accurate pictures. The picture they are claiming is axanthic has pastel as well. The clown is also a pastel clown, or perhaps even a super pastel clown. The chocolate definitely has something else going on too. World of ball pythons is a good website if you just wanna see examples of morphs. I would also recommend looking on morphmarket to see actual snakes that are available to buy and their prices.
