    What would you buy with $1000

    I currently have 2 pastel males, 1 spider male an a KingPin female on hold.
    I have enough space for a couple of more snakes with the rack system I made. I know there is no wrong answer to this but I want to know what you guys an gals have brewing.

    I was thinking of getting a Killer Bee male to breed to the KingPin later on...

    Let me know what you would do!?!

    Sounds like you have a lot of males. I'd recommending focusing on acquiring females now and anymore males maybe next year. Remember BP males can breed with 3+ females a season.

    Yeah i've been looking for some females on King but didn't know what to get yet. Maybe some Pastels or Lessers, but its hard to find breeding size females unless they are normals

    What about a super pastel female?
    I should have got a lot of females first but just now decided to breed next year, so that's on me.
    Is it bad to have stronger tricked out females say you're bumbles, lemon blast or KingPins, even killers. Does it work?

    I know you get more use out of the males but I'm just trying to get a game plan while I have the money...

    I got the ones in my signature because females take longer to mature. I picked up a male bumblebee, female lesser, female pastel, and female cinnamon for $1100. I spent hours researching over and over on genetics and this is about as good as you can do for the money. You have some killer possibilities with the snakes I picked up.

    Regards,

    It really depends what you want, there are hundreds of combinations you can go for.
    Me personally though, I would pick up four het. pieds; 1 male - 3 females and a super pastel, this would really boost my personal projects atm.
