Future Breeding Possibility
I know it's still a bit early, but I have a year old 50% Het Caramel Albino Normal Ball Python.
I was thinking about purchasing some type of Pastel, Spider, Caramel, or Cinnamon which I wanted to consider breeding possibilities in the future.
Which type (Pastel, Spider, exc.) would prove to be an interesting match up. Should I go with a Caramel and hope for more Caramels in the batch? Let me know what you guys think would be the best genetically. :]
Also, I do understand the percentages with breeding for the most part, but maybe not everything.. Genetics is one of my favorite biological studies. :P
Re: Future Breeding Possibility
You should get a caramel and try and prove that 50% het out
Re: Future Breeding Possibility
definitley
try to work out some type of breeder loan if you can or buy a caramel female or a het female
cause after you find out if he is het or not then you can breed him to other morphs to make 50% hets and breed em back :gj:

What do you mean by a breeder loan?
Hm, good ideas here. I'm not sure what to do yet though. I want to breed in the future, but I probably won't be able to breed anything for the next too years unless I bought an adult male corn snake. :[
Re: Future Breeding Possibility
try to find someone local that breeds BPs, if not buy a het caramel female
of course if you buy a baby you cant produce in the next two years

Yeah, I know it. :[
So what would be my chances if I bred my 50% het with another 50% het?
Re: Future Breeding Possibility
Adult male corn? Too bad you don't live around Denver... we could do a loan with one of my boys. They won't be able to breed with the ladies for about 2-3 years. :(
I, too, would either find someone to do a loan with or see about getting another Het caramel. Caramels are so pretty...

I agree, I would die to have one. I picked out my snake more because of his coloration and didn't know as much about the caramel breeds then, but now I feel grateful that I picked up something that I could breed successfully into a beautiful morph.
I don't know much about loans but if anyone knows any bp breeders in the chicagoland area I would love to know.
With loans, do they require a charge of some sort (I'm expecting so) and/or some of the hatchlings?
Edit: Also, I've been looking into buying a very pretty albino corn. See how crimsion x het. snow albino turns out. Haha.
Re: Future Breeding Possibility
you have a 25% chance to get caramels?
you wouldnt be able to know which is a het even if you get normals, the normals could be 50% hets
if you get a 100% het and you breed it and you get caramels then you hit the odds
if i were you, id buy a het female, and start raisin her up if you want to produce caramels
hope that helps
