Pied options, breeding tips.

There is NOTHING wrong with breeding a pied to a pied and getting a bunch of pieds. Sure sometimes the fun is in not knowing what you'll get, but you're for sure not going to hatch out a 5 egg clutch of only normals.

Piebald BPs are in huge demand and will always be crowd pleasers. If you're concerned about it from a financial perspective, think about how much you'll have to spend to get something BETTER than a visual recessive piebald to pair with either of your snakes.

dont know personally not apart of the pied craze...... I do appreciate them but dont think they are the as awesome as everyone else seems to..... breed pied to pied, sell the offspring and get a lavender albino and go for the 1 in 16 odds of a dreamcicle.... I dunno just look for stuff you like and watch how genes react to each other and come up with some ideas of your own.....

Thanks for the awesome replys guys. I really enjoyed reading your opinions. Putting them together kind of does want me to breed them together. They just look like a good couple ;)

What all could you possibly breed to pieds to eventually get a double morph (like the dreamsicle)

You know what would be amazing is breeding a genetic stripe to my pied and then getting a 1/16 at a stiped pied? (but not because its a pied) WOW that would look so cool imo. Possible?

bumppp. anyone?

if you end up going for albino pieds you want to hold back all your females to better your chances.

keep in mind though, you will still have a shot at getting pieds AND albinos. as well as more hets. i still feel this is the best course moneywise and production wise :gj:

don't get me wrong, pieds are awesome - however, imho, the only cool COMBO you can make with pieds are color changers - not pattern...
albinos (not lavanders) are 450 - 550 nowadays - not too expensive.. especially compared to the price of the clutch if he gets even just ONE egg lol.... since he'll be combining it with a pied, the pattern and color of the albino wouldn't be too important so he wouldn't even have to hold out for a very high quality albino.. he could either sell the double hets for mucho dinero then buy some double co-doms and have cooler breeding projects later on to make different things =D OOOOR hold a pair back and try to hit the odds - hets, pieds, albinos - (normals? albinos het pied? pieds het albino?)

alsoooo - i think dreamsicles are lavander albinos, not regular albinos :weirdface

i think :P

my thoughts are...

males:
albino spider/spider het pied/bumblebee

females:
spider het pied/albino

you can tell what i like! :rolleyes:

yeah dreamsicles are lavendar albino pieds.

Woah alan you must love spiders! I wouldnt mind getting a nice female spider ;)

any other thoughts? :)

Depends on what your doing...

If your trying to fund future projects, I would pick up some more female hets and jsut produce a ton of Pieds, or The albino/pied hets make good "cheese" (haha)

How ever, if your looking to expand you own collection I would go with

Bee's (Out comes being Bee het pied, Pastel het pied, spider het pied, spider, pastel, Normal)
Albino for double hets
Spinner/any of the "blast" combos
Anxtethic (spelling?)
Caramel albino? idk but that would look sweet a pied CA :D /drool

Just my thoughts on the situation

P.S. Im a huge fan of pieds and pied combos hoping to produce my own this coming year, both hets are finally of size (well, the female is)
