Pondering future breeding ideas
Been twirling a couple ideas about, thought I'd see what you guys had to say :)
Eventually I'm going to be trying for Lesser/Butter BELS, but I'm also pretty fond of Pinstripe, Spider, Woma, and Enchi morphs, and figure since I've got more time than money, I'd save up for some nice multi-genes down the road. I plan on my first breeding purchase to be a male, since I currently have this gorgeous reduced-pattern normal girl (an '11, so she's got a while yet for me to save up for her boyfriend lol):

With her patterning, I'm thinking of a male lesser (or butter) woma or enchi. That way hopefully even any normal babies will have a greater chance of showing a nice reduced pattern as well. The main problem with this idea is price, since when I can even find one listed its usually over $2k and I have a hard time justifying spending that much for a snake yet, no matter how well it works into my breeding plans. Hopefully they become a bit more common over the next couple years, because I do eventually want to work with those morphs. Kingpins, whatever you call butter pinstripes, and lesser/butter bees tend to be a lot more common and a bit more in my price range, but I'm a little more hesitant to get into anything dealing with the spider gene (mostly because I'd give any wobblers terrible names, lol), though getting into pinstripes would be fun, I mean, they do go with just about anything :P
This is a lot of thinking aloud, but I'd appreciate any feedback you might have!

Your female has a nice pattern and I think you have the right idea of pairing her with something that usually has a reduced pattern. :)
Haha, well my google-fu is pretty bad when it comes to looking up snake prices so I end up on kingsnake a lot, which probably explains my warped pricing :rolleyes:
Thanks :D
