Bredli market?

I may be purchasing a pair of Bredlis,and was wondering about the market for them. I have heard that they can lay up to 30 or 40 eggs, and wanted to make sure that I would be able to sell them. Any Bredli breeders out there have any insight?

I'm strictly a ball python guy besides the few turtles I have but Bredli's are a snake I've admired for a long time, but Haven't brought any into the collection, I would be curious what the market is like also.

Not many people are buying carpet pythons in general these days. That being said, our bredli's are probably the most popular carpets out of the ones we have sold :D It just seems that everybody has jungle/diamond crosses etc these days.

There is a market for them, and they certainly can have huge clutches. Don't expect that many eggs for breeding a young female her first season of course, but yeah it's a smart idea to be prepared for many many hatchlings.

I personally love bredlis, they are on my wish list and if I had the cash for some more cages I'd pick up a pair.

also keep in mind that bredli's take longer to get to breeding age and when they do become of age, you are not likely to get clutches that large at first...
if you're able to successfully breed them, i don't imagine you'd be in a situation where you would worry about whether or not you'll have to sit on them for awhile, just my $.02.

There's a post on here asking which people like better jungles or bredli. It might give you a little insight. Just scroll on down the Morelia page.

where are you getting the bredli from? How big/old are they?

First off, thanks to everyone that has posted. I personally would have went ahead a purchased a pair, but when you have a business partner, they often have a different perspective. It sounds like that would be a sound investment. I really do not know too much about them, but do know that I have been interested in carpets for a while. One thing that had turned me away from carpets is that some have said that they will only eat mice, and some will only take live. However, I have heard others say that Bredlis will take f/t rats every time. I have also heard that most are very docile as adults.

To the above poster, I am not sure who I am going to purchase them from. I want to make sure that they are pure, and would like to buy a pair that are at least a year old. I saw BHB had some 08s available, so e-mailed him for pictures. He never got back to me. Let me know if you know any breeders that have some available.

Ive seen that comment about carpets only eating mice also. But as ive looked around, i see that more and more breeders start their offspring out on rats since people hate to have to feed an adult a billion mice for it to be satisfied. I just got my first carpet and love him. He hasnt eaten yet but the breeder i got him from has had him on rat pinks and said he has had no problem feeding him even once. As far as the live part, i havent seen as much about that. My carpet will be feeding on F/T and has been so im not worried.

My carpet takes f/t rats like a champ, never refused for me. She's not a bredli though, I don't really know much about them.
