Breeding Plans Ok? Suggestions
So i am just getting into breeding BPs and after much thinking, reading, and listening i have come up with the following. First off i am only going to start off with 5-8 animals and purchase 5 more every year that follows.
The current 5 i plan to breed and own at this moment.
1.0 Pastel Lesser
0.1 Pinstripe
0.1 Spider
0.1 Enchi
0.1 Mojave
This will be my first "Breeding Project". Im not looking for suggestions on the morphs themselves because i know what i would like to produce. I guess i am asking if this ratio of male to female will work or if i should possibly add another male just in case. 8 Bps would be the absolute max i want to start with. Racks, food and the snakes themselves cost a pretty penny. Plus putting aside $ for the vet if something were to come up. I think that the morphs i have now can produce some pretty cool combos and i would definatley Hold Back the higher end combos for future breeding and sell the rest. Depending on how many clutches i get and how rich those clutches are. My guess would be 2 maybe 3 cluthes out of 4 females, but i could very likely get 1 or none. The way i see it is if i want to get moving a little faster along, it would help alot to be as succesfull as possible with my first Season. If there are any suggestions people could give me to create a higher success rate my first attempt/season at breeding, i would be very grateful and forever in your debt. LOL.

I'd add another male to back up your primary in case he's shy, lazy, a late bloomer, shoots blanks, wears down, etc...

x3 on having a second male as a back up, and possibly for "who's your daddy" clutches.

If I was you and considering a second male a Pastel Enchi would not be a bad choice with those females or a Pastel Mojave

Lair of Dragons
To many Ball Python morphs to list but don't own enough......YET!

I also agree with adding a back up 2 gene male.
Something w/ yellowbelly or fire to enhance your current morphs.
Black PastelxFire or Black PastelxYellowbelly.
They are hot!!

Agree with the rest, adding a second or even third male is a good idea. A Firefly or Bee would also be good choices along with the other two gene males people have already suggested. GL!
