    Re: what is best python to breed with normal bp

    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.

    Re: what is best python to breed with normal bp

    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...

    I have a baby bp about 2-3 months old about 18-20 inchs.
    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.

    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".

    The best "breed" to mate with a ball python is obviously another ball python. I have heard of breeding them to blood pythons to make something called "superballs" but If you are refering to what ball python morph would be good I would say it depends entirely on your budget and what you are looking to get If you have the money By all means I say a blue eyed luecy or a pied but again you are going to shell out a pretty penny especially for a breedable female male morphs tend to be cheaper so I would say but a normal female and a morph male but thats me as far as a wedsite goes check out www.bhbreptiles.com or just type in ball python morphs or breeders and you can comb through them
