Re: planning ............
is your goal to produce an albino for yourself, or to sell albinos? or both? if you want to sell albinos or hets i would get het girls first like you said and then save up for an albino male. skip the het male, this way all your babies are albino/100%hets. plan on buying alot more stuff if you want to get into breeding!:partyon:

Re: planning ............
Kinda both ,but more of the for my self then start selling but once i have some albinos start breeding them then start it for money/enjoyment etc.
Re: planning ............
You can still go with the het male if you have limited funds. You can also see about trading any visable albinos for unrelated of the other sex, especially if you have extra males. Keep all females to breed to the visable albino too, as then you will get either more albinos or at least het albinos.
The trade is not necessary, but it builds good bonds between herpers too!
The wonderful thing is you get to keep the females, and eventually they are worth their weigh in gold to your breeding program, even if they are normal females, and not even hets.
Planning ahead is SO fun and makes you feel even more excited about them!

Re: planning ............
Well....thats a nice simple plan. There will be much more you'll need to get into breeding. Anyone feel like taking a crack at compiling a complete shopping list of stuff you need from, say, day one of a hatchling to seeing some babies pipping out? LOL...

Re: planning ............
thanks , I am on a tight bugget .THANKS ALOT:D
Re: planning ............
male hets and as many poss. het girls as you can get! that's a good way on a budget. just be really careful and do alot of research and checking on a breeder when buying hets, esp. poss. hets.
