    Looking for another species to breed!
    So I currently breed ball pythons and am looking to get into another species. My question is what do you think will sell well? I thought about bloods, carpets, green tree and super dwarf retics. What are your opinions and why?

    I love my carpet an can't wait to have the space to get more an to breed them. They get longer but aren't huge and they are fun to handle

    GTPs are flashy, so you might get something back from them. As far as versatility goes though, I'm going to second for Carpets.

    If you are planning on breeding, I have heard and read that gtp neonates can be tough to get going eating. Lots of time and patience. They are also super fragile until a year of age, and many people want juveniles, not neonates. So with gtp's, keep in mind you may be hanging onto, and feeding, any you produce, for up to a year. The book The More Complete Chondro is excellent if you head into gtp's.

    That being said, I absolutely love my gtp!

    I think the SD retic market is going to explode soon. It is becoming more and more popular, and if you have been paying attention to this current breeding season there have been some HUGE leaps in gentics. There are so many untapped SD projects out there however you have to have the room for the larger morphs to make the SDs. It is more complicated than just putting one morph to another morph. I love my retics and carpets, although I do not intend to breed my carpet python. She is just a pet that I wanted :)

    Do you guys have a good website to get info for carpet pythons? Also what size tubs would I need for them? 41?

    Not positive, but I don't think you can keep carpets in a tub, 41 is for balls.
