Hi I'm new to forum so ill introduce myself, my name is Jon. I have many animals including darts, salt water fish, snakes, and lizards.
Now to my questions...
I already own a albino male but I plan on getting a few more snakes to have some thing to start my breeding project with. My plans were to get lesser female, a albino female, a pastel female and a bumblebee male. Next month at a reptile show I was planning on getting the pastel female and albino female.
This plan seemed good until i learned about the wobbles in bumblebee which has me reconsidering. Another possible snake i was considering was a lemonblast male but you don't get as many cool looking snakes as you would with the bee. I'm looking for suggestions for snakes in the price range of the snakes I already listed. I like colors that are bright colors and the possibility of getting lots of different morphs.
I'm looking at things from a investment perspective so I'm trying to purchase the best I can afford while getting desirable morphs.
Another idea I had was to just get all albino females instead of the above mentioned females. But my male albino has never bred before so id be at risk of him not being a successful breeder.
One more question about genetics... Are there any other morphs that have issues like the wobble or more prone physical problems. Examples such as kinking, birth defects, low survival rate?
Wait I have one more question I forgot. Is there a better time in the year to buy a snake? Will 2011 babies affect current price and be a better deal?
Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.
