So I want to start breeding as a hobby. I don't really want to make a ton of money, maybe enough to fund my ball python addiction! I currently have 3 boys, 2 of which are 50% het for albino. I'm not really too terribly impressed with the albino gene. I also have a pastel. My ideas are:

-Get a proven het albino female and attempt to prove out my 50% hets.

-Get a female pin to breed to the pastel to eventually make all sorts of morphs with pastel/super pastel, etc. I'd also include a spider in these plans. I really love the different morphs you can get from pastel/spider/pin, etc.

-Get a female butter or lesser. Eventually get a male of the opposite and breed them for BEL.

For now I'm thinking either of the first 2 options. I could also just get a normal female and start there. I will not begin breeding until the 2013 breeding season. I'm currently setting money aside for a female rack, a hatchling rack and an incubator. So what do you think? Any other ideas I haven't presented here? Oh, one of my 50% het for albino males is also 66% het for axanthic. Just thought I'd mention that as it might be worth it to try and prove him out, as well.
