    What to breed my male to

    I have a male Mojave harlequin desert ball I wanted to breed him but not sure what to breed him with, I'm new to ball python breeding. This will be my first time breeding balls, I currently breed bearded dragons.
    Thanks for the input.
    I can't put a pic of him up for some reason but if you look at my previous posts I have a pic of him

    I would avoid making Lucy's. Don't want to end up with a bunch of female white snakes that could have Desert hidden in them.

    Depends what your end goal is and how much you want to spend?
    Short term get a bee.
    Long term get a clown.

    Thats a risk you will take... if you want a bel from what you have. Even if it dose turn out to be a hidden desert you will have some great pet snakes. Just tell anyone you sell one to about the desert gene.

    I'm looking for short term breeding not long term. I'll be breeding for awhile but I'd rather just make some nice looking pets for people.

    Re: What to breed my male to

    No matter what you breed it to, you'll have the possibility of hatching out female deserts that cannot be bred.

    Take a look at the World of Ball Pythons and use their genetic calculator to fool around with other morphs to see end results.

    yeah he has the possibility of making female deserts, that isnt the problem, the problem is when you make an BEL you can't see if there is desert in her and that is the problem.

    Re: What to breed my male to

    Yeah, I get that. I'm just pointing out that any females with desert won't be breed able.

    Would like to know what he means by short term breeding as well.
