What to breed my Mojave with?

Hey,

I have a male mojave and have to choose between one of the following females to buy and breed with..which would you choose in terms of offspring and best investment?

pastel mojave spider
orange dream spider
champagne phantom female
pastel orange dream yellow belly female

Thank you!

I would not consider using a common single gene male on a triple gene female-it is not an inefficient use of time.

Why not please?

Because unless you're just simply obsessed with the Mojave gene and it's combinations (which is totally cool because I love Mojaves) then a single base incomplete dominant gene isn't a lot to work with. In order to stack genes you're going to have to breed back a couple times to start stacking them in order to make them marketable which would take years. The BP market is way over saturated and the covid isn't making it any better and most people still buying aren't wanting to buy single or double gene animals. So if you decide to go this route, and it's totally up to you, be prepared to sit on these animals for quite some time.

When you are looking to bread ball pythons as an investment, you need your male to add more. A lot of times males are cheaper than females. So you can spend a little bit more and get more genes in play. Also one male can breed several females. If you were starting from scratch, I would recommend getting a few females with one or two genes each. Save your money while they grow for a year or two. Then buy your male. The idea would be to maybe spend $1000 on 3 or 4 females. Then a year or so later spend $1000 on one male. Because the male will breed all the females the more money spent on him the more genes your babies will end up having.

Honestly I would go for your pastave spider... that gives the chances of producing BELs, and people always seem to be in love with those!

I agree with what you have make a bell
