    Interesting, so should you only do it to an extent? i mean i'm sure its not good to do that forever.

    It's generally not recommended that you breed siblings together, but breeding a parent to a child is okay. If I remember correctly this okay to do for a generation or two but you will eventually start seeing problems if you do it for several generations.

    its my understanding that 3 generations is max for breeding, i.e. mother --> son -->daughter. but for what morph, i would say granite but i am biased, as granite was my first.
    1.0 Butter Ball Python (Thor)
    0.1 Granite Ball Python (Luna)
    0.1 Normal Ball Python (Athena)
    0.1 American Bulldog (Nala)

    I personally really like fireflies, but they're not as exciting as bees and pewters etc. Just high high yellows. Pastels have sooo many complementing morphs, you can't go wrong :} You could get him another pastel girlfriend on the cheap to try for supers, so that you can 100% get that pastel gene in future projects.

    That's actually a really good thought, because im a poor college kid and don't have all the money in the world to spend on BPs.
    If i can't get a cinnamon i may end up just getting another pastel to go for a super.

    Whatever morph you decide to go with, when you start producing babies you can start trading and getting other genes to work with and not have to lay out a ton of money for them.

    I have a pied and het pied female and I'm going to buy a pied male and breed them next season. I don't want a whole bunch of pieds but I figure that I can get a nice assortment of snakes without paying out more for them by doing a little trading.

    The cast: 0.1 het pied, Minnie, "Heartless." 0.1 pied, Dorothy, "The Girl Next Door." 0.1 mojave, Lily, "Stuck Up Little Princess." 0.1 pastel yb, Marilyn, "The Bombshell." 0.1 normal, Miss Maenad, "Femme Fatale." 1.0 dinker, Darth Jackass, "Scum of the Earth." 1.0 piebald, Mickey, "A Really Nice Guy." 1.0 jigsaw, Kaa, "The Young Dude." 0.1 cinnamon, Hera, "If Looks Could Kill" 0.1 pastel, Luna, "If It Moves, Eat It"
