New to breeding what to pair with my current collection

[Mauro]

This will be my first year breeding ball pythons. I've always had ball pythons, never more than one at a time though. I've decide to look up breeding and all the different morphs and became obsessed with the idea of breeding and creating neat looking balls. I did my homework for a few months and Started buying supplies for the project bins racks and all the necessities.. I thought maybe I will start with a regular that I currently had and just buy a male to pair her to. Well it didn't quite work like that. Went to my first reptile show back in September with a "strict" budget of $200. I instantly fell more in love with the hobby. So that strict budget was quickly expanded and I ended up leaving with 6 ball pythons.

so now I'm just curious and need some opinions on what you guys think I should pair together.here is the list of the females and males that are ready to breed another question is what are your opinions on breeding different males to one female.


FEMALES
normal
white diamond
pied

MALES
pewter
bumble bee
mojave
het pied

well first off you can pair more than one male to a female however that makes it harder to know exactly what genes the babies have when dealing with certan genes
of course you will want to pair the het pied and pied
I would pair the pewter and or the bee to the normal and the mojave to the wd
you should consider getting a few more females tho if you are searous about breeding or hold back a few that you produce
I have 16 snakes total and only 2 breeder males and 1 juvie male makes it easyier to make parings when you have more females than males

I never knew a guy who had more males and females lol. But it's up to you idk what a white diamond is but it sounds exotic. I'll just pair the bumblebee or pewter (whoever will lock) to all the females

As said above, your collection is unbalance. you should try to get more girls and trade or sell all of your males for one or two power house breeder.( white diamond is a super Russo. blue eyes leucistic. ) For those 3 females you have, i would buy a Champagne enchi + one of those genes: special, mystic, phantom.

i explain myself here:

1.your male will be a stunner himself.
2.champagne enchi are stunning too.
3. het. pied champagne is a pied looking snakes also super cool looking.
4. het. russo pairs great with those special, mystic, phantom.
5. this male will allowed you to carry other projects if you get females like: lesser, OD, pastel, leopard... for the most obvious.

I forgot to mention I do have 3 more females who aren't yet up to size or age to be bred. A pastel g stripe, albino and a banana. But thanks for the info will definetly look for a champagne enchi male or a male with multiple genes. And was planing on a mystic as well for the wd hopefully to produce a invisiball. Thanks again for all the helpful information very much appreciated
