    Need help with breeding plans
    Hi :)
    I've recently bought my first 2 snakes, 0.1 pastel and 1.0 pinstripe hatchlings (hatched in the beginning of september).

    My goal is to produce the following, with descending order of importance:
    #1 Kingspin (Lesser spider pinstripe) & Albino pinstripe
    #2 Queen bee
    #3 Super enchi bumble bee

    At the moment there are albinos and spiders available, and next year there will be enchis and lessers as well.

    I was hoping you guys (and girls, too!) can guide me about what i should buy to save the most time/what would be the smartest route to my goal snakes :)

    Thanks a lot,
    Almog

    Start with the females you want first as they take longer to grow and mature.
    Males can be ready to go in a year.

    A year as in September-born can breed in march-april of the same year? At the age of only 7 monthes?

    I'm aware that females take longer to mature, i was hoping to get something like a "shopping list" with males and females for the next 3 years or so :)

    Yep what he said. Focus on females. A male can breed as soon as hes producing plugs. I have a lesser and a lemon blast that are only 500 grams and they are lockin as we speak. Now keep in mind its harder to get a small male to breed a huge girl but i have those males cycling in with girls in the 1500 gram range

    Not sure what your budget it but based on what you already have that is the route I would go, I would buy a female Spider, Lesser and Enchi, I would breed the pin to both Spider and Lesser (and the rest too) I would hold back a Spinner to breed to the lesser, pastel and enchi.

    Those would be the priority and after that I would hold back accordingly and sale the rest.
