    anything co-dom or dominant. pastel, spider, mojave, etc... you'll have to spend a good amount of cash to get a breedable one..... and of course quarantine first so you will have to wait probably til next year to breed. not something you can really do off the bat. I dont have any experience personally breeding but read alot so I think I know but im sure others will chime in as well. and as for the $$ well hopefully you are doing it for the love of the hobby and snakes not just for money.

    Didn't I just read in your other thread that you'd already arranged to buy a female tomorrow?

    I have a baby bp about 2-3 months old about 18-20 inchs. and i am buying another tomarrow not sure how old but is like 2 1/2 feet. the one i have is a male and the one i am buying tomarrow is a female
    As well you describe your current normal male bp as...

    Are you aware of how much stress breeding a very young male snake puts on him. Most people do not breed males of 2 or 4 months of age and the only ones that do try it tend to be highly experienced breeders.

    i am not going to breed him as soon as i get the other snake. but i want to get a female ( not sure of what breed) and then raise them for about a year then have them breed. i wasnt going to try to have a 3 month old snake try and mate :)

    Well Rocky it's very confusing to try and answer you with any clarity when you refer to yourself in another thread just posted here as being "about to breed".

    Not to mention, you have a normal male, so you need to buy a morph female to breed to him. To get one ready to breed next year will cost you a ton of money, so I assume you're planning on buying an '08 because they are cheaper and then breed it next year, but a female takes several years to be ready.

    To be honest with you, you can't breed a relatively cheap snake with a normal and get amazing offspring. I mean, you can get a mojave ($200-400 ?), breed that to a normal, get some (50% chance) mojaves, and then after a few years you can breed those back and MAYBE produce some blue-eyed leucistics (25% chance).

    This is just an example of how long it'll take...
