OK, this girl is still young (404 grams last weekend) and I probably won't ever breed, but these thoughts have been running through my head anyway.

She is a champagne from a champagne x champagne breeding. Both sets of grandparents are champagne x normal, so there's plenty of champagne in her background. I've heard it's best not to get too into the champagne gene because of facial deformities, but also that those are rare and not to worry about it. If I were to bred her, would it be better to use another champagne because she already has so much champagne going on and people might find the babies desirable because of that, or go with another morph? If so, which morph would you use?

Another question. Temperament tendencies tend to be hereditary. That's why we have dog breeds that are better at herding, or going after vermin, or other such things. She is not an interactive snake, and even though I really like her champagne head marking, I seldom get to see it up close because when she's picked up, she'll roll herself into the tightest ball imaginable with her head out of sight in the middle. I'd like to see that little head more often. *sigh* She's also the only one who's ever bit me. I get to see her head when she's striking, but that's not really on my joy list. Would it be better to use a male like my butter, who is so easy going he doesn't even care if the dog sniffs or licks him? Thoughts?

I won't be back to the computer today, but will check this thread when I return. Hopefully by then I'll have some great input. Thanks!
