    Made my decision going with Corns. What Morphs?

    I've been thinking of either breeding BP or corns. I've done my research on both and I have chosen Corn snakes since they are affordable, for me and I think for great deal of people around my area.

    I'm just not sure what Morphs I should go with. I'm thinking of just going with the basic morphs just for now and expand when able to.
    I'm looking to buy 3 different kinds of morph.

    This is more of a hobby / something to keep me busy. I'm not really looking to make any real money outta this, and I'm looking to keep it cheap.

    Re: Made my decision going with Corns. What Morphs?

    Congrats! Corns are great pets and one of the best display animals - easy keepers, gorgeous, active, and always entertaining. If I had to pick three morphs, I would go with these;
    1) Abbott Okeetee
    2) Extreme Reverse Okeetee
    3) Fire

    2nd this, I have actually just ordered 2 snakes from him (waiting for weather to permit to ship though).

    I would add two more,
    4) Pied [has Diffused gene by default]
    5) Amel Plasma [Amel, Diffused, Lavender] (also able to be seen on Steve's site)
    0.1 Blood Red Corn Snake (BHB)
    0.1 BRB (Elegant Reptile Images)

    Glad you decided to go with corns. They are wonderful pets, display animals, and are easy to breed!

    As for morphs, go with something you love. There are so many that it's hard to narrow it down. Personally, I go with a single project at a time (currently pieds here) because unlike BP's, you will end up with plenty of babies. Instead of a couple hatchlings, you may be looking at more than 40 in a year from a single female. Also, because everything is recessive except for a couple morphs, you may get some surprises when breeding. Those are always fun.

    If you go with the cinnamon, just be sure to remember it's a hybrid. They are pretty though.
    Ball Pythons: 1.1 Pastave (Regulus and Ceti), 0.1 Albino (Aria), 0.1 Lesser (Daenerys), 0.1 Mojave (Sangria), 1.0 Enchi Pastel (Declan), 0.1 Normal (Sydney), 1.0 Lesser pos. het Clown/Pied (Loki), 1.0 het Clown pos. het lavender albino (Liam), 0.2 het Clown (Cara and Milly)

    Corn Snakes: 1.0 Blizzard (Flurry)

    Other: 0.1 Bearded Dragon (Faranth), 0.1 Russian Tortoise (Henry), 1.1 Dogs (Floppy and Lucy), 2.1 Cats (Jack, Brando, and Godiva), 1 Very Understanding Husband

    Breeding corns is AWESOME and so much fun!

    I don't have suggestions for you, just breed what you like. There are more than enough corn morphs out there to satisfy anybody!

    I love the cinder morphs. Sunkissed cinder and peppermint are my favorites. I also like orchids and other sunkiss morphs.

    You said you want to keep it cheap, and I'm not sure if you meant what you are buying or how much you are gonna sell them for.

    If you meant the fromer, then I would go with charcoal, diffused, and maybe a butter. With hets that match up, preferably.

    I've got a stupid question, While I was researching corns I came across a website that said I could breed corns x2 during the year.
    Is this true?
    I'm just breed a female once, but just wondering if this is true.

    also whats the general feed for Corns?
    Mice or rats? I'm guessing I can go with either one?

    Re: Made my decision going with Corns. What Morphs?

    Butter corns are my favorite...the coloration is just beautiful...they all are, but I'm very partial to butters. Tesseras aren't cheap, but should be fun, as they're the only known dominant gene in corn snakes, the rest being recessive.
