Help!!!! Questions on breeding

[Slashrocks01]

I am getting ready to start breeding ball pythons and i have some questions

1.what rack system and incubators should i use? could i build my own for cheaper?

2. i want to start off with lesser platinums. Where could i buy an adult Lesser Platinum male and for how much?

3. where could i buy some normal adult females and for how much?

This is something i have been contemplating on doing for a long time now i got my first ball and fell in love. i would really appreciate any help i can get

Also are there any morphs you suggest working with?

[llovelace]

My suggestion is successfully owning/raising for at least a year or so before attempting breeding. And seeing as you don't even own any, what experience do you have with snakes? Please read thru the husbandry forums, you will find tons of answers, to questions you didn't think to ask

how did you make your own thats an option i was considering

[Mike Cavanaugh]

1.) keep a BP or 3 for a year or two.

2.) Read every day on this site during this time.

3.) save up lots of money

4.) loose hope of making any money as a result of breeding.

5.) start thinking about breeding.

follow in this order!

cant say i disagree with you but the op never said that he hasnt done all 5 of those. unless im missing something, but from what ive seen we have no way to know how long he has kept bps, what he has thought about, or how he knows about them.

1. AP racks, RBI, Vision, all these are good, inexpensive (compared to others). You will need a CB70 sized rack for breeding. I would not try to build my own until you are more familiar with their needs. You can build your own bator, fridge, cooler, check the DIY on this site.
2. RDR, 8ball, NERD, all these guys have nice lessers. I got a hatchling from 8ball. Babies are running 6-700. Adults would be out of sight.
3. I would suggest staying away from pet stores. Buy from breeders, reptile shows are a good place to get adult females. Probally looking 2-250 each.
4. Everyone else is right, don't just jump into this thing. I bought my first bp in 05 and this is my first year breeding. I have spent over $25,000 so far and haven't produced a snake yet!!!
