What would happen if I bred my snakes?

Alright, so I'm a bit new to having BPs in the family, but I adore them. I don't really plan on breeding them, but I was wondering if there are morphs that you just can't breed together? My albino butter is male. Could I breed him to my candino or super fire?

About the only morphs I'm aware of that have issues are Desert females being infertile and spiders having a lethal super form. The spider morph apparently needs one spider gene and the second allele for that loci has to be non spider for the egg to hatch.

If you want to find out what you would get if breeding together various morphs then this will help - http://www.worldofballpythons.com/wizard/

One of our members started a thread a while back listing morphs and their potential defects, such as spider wobble, etc...

My two cents would be to leave the breeding to the people who have the knowledge and experience to breed. BPs are already over produced and unless you plan to keep and raise them, as well as have the space/resources, you will probably have a hard time getting rid of them. Also, your expenses will probably be greater than what you make selling them without experience and a reputation.
