    Want to start breeding...what morphs to get?

    Okay, I currently have 1.0 Normal BP and 1.0 Red Tail Boa, but am interested in getting into breeding Ball Pythons. I have some extra $ and was going to buy a BP morph anyway, but think I might want to try breeding...what morphs are good to begin with? I have around $1400 I can spend on this project. Any ideas or advice is appreciated. Thanks! Oh and by the way - I was looking at a bumblebee or maybe lemon blast...I've seen a few bumblebees for around $700 and lemon blasts for $800-900

    its all preference and how much money you have, with 1400 i would invest in a breeding pair of some sort like mojaves, to make some BELs....but like i said its all preference

    Use the money to your advantage and pick up a young female morph and raise her up so you have time to learn the ins and outs of the animal.

    Well, if you wanted to start out with something simple, try getting a female Spider, Pastel, Cinnamon, Mojave, or something simple as that (extra money can be used for supplies).

    Don't you have to breed a mojave x lesser platty to get BEL's? You don't think a bumblebee or lemon blast male with 2 normal females 2 would be good? If I got a good price I could probably find both and 2 females for $1400 or a little more...

    Would it be more wise to buy a female morph or male morph? I could breed a male morph to 2 or 3 females but could only breed 1 male to a female morph.

    That's what I was thinking lol. But I'm going to wait until next October to begin breeding. I know a male will be plenty big by that time, but is it possible to get females 1200+ grams in about a year?
