    Going to NARBC in Illinois..what should I get?

    Hey everyone,
    I am having difficulty deciding what ball python to purchase at Tinley Park NARBC. I have a female pastel ready to breed. I am looking for a male breeder size under $500, particularly to breed with pastel this winter. I am also considering getting a smaller male to breed with female spider next year. I have a male super that might be ready to breed next year too.
    I am thinking.. fire,lesser,pin,firefly,lemonblast.

    If I have enough money I might consider buying a female for my breeder size male pastel.. money is a big issue here because I would like a female near to breeder size if possible.


    Thank you

    I'd get you a nice female normal. They will run about $150-$200. Then, I'd get a lesser....but that's just me. Get whatever you want to produce!

    I say you look for the HOTTEST enchi male, then produce your own females . A smokin hot enchi male should go for around 400. Enchis aren't everyone's cup'o'tea, but if you produce enchi females that are fantastic, they'll probably be sold before you could advertise them. Then you could buy some more snakes !

    That's just what I would do .

    Fact.

    Get an enchi and a normal female. Breed to your pastel and the normal. End result Enchis and Pastel Enchis which equal funds for more snakes.

    Pastel Calico mind blowing if you hit a high white one. One of the best 2 gene animals you can produce for fairly cheap.

    You're obsessed with the Enchis. They may not be my cup'o'tea, but the Enchi 'nanner blows me away.

    Well first off you should meet up with some of us other BP.net people at the show! If you are interested we are getting together for lunch on Saturday and such day around noon. Pm me your number if you'd like to meet up with us!

    As for what morph to get...i don't even know what I'm going to get! I will be browsing for the nicest female hatchling I can find in my price range. I'm keeping my options open but I am looking for something with enchi, black pastel, fire, or some het VPI axanthic. I will be open to the suggestions of my fellow forum goers as well
