no i dont plan on starting the store for abt 5-10 years. once i run out of space in my house. my spare room where i keep the snakes can hold abt 400 ball pythons if i do it right.

Daaaang! That'll be a lot of rats :D

My ultimate goal is to get true ghosts (axanthic ghosts), honeybees, and mojave deserts (hehe :D ) But for now I've got my little Pastaves coming along, so next year it'll probably be a female lesser to do some BELs for kicks :D Those recessive genes and expensive deserts are a little intimidating

My advice to the OP first is to look at all the combo morphs out there and pick your favorite few. Then create a list of what you will need to achieve those goals. Having 2 of all of the common morph females is nice, but not necessary and you may find yourself overwhelmed.

That aside, my list is short and simple for 2011.

1.0 Queen Bee
0.1 Clown

pieds and deserts and with some luck a few leopard crosses

Don't forget when you are getting started one of your largest expenses will be caging. If you plan to continue to acquiring snake always buy bigger racks than you need. It is never a bad idea to have empty rack space or empty racks. You never know when you will run across a deal that is priced so that you have to buy it. Also ALWAYS KEEP A SEPERATE QUARINTINE RACK.

i plan i building all my racks the only ones i like that i can buy cost over $1000 like freedom breeders.

All I want for 2011 is an Enchi and Lesser/Butter.

My wish list happens to be far too long to post but my need to get list is:
0.1 het caramel albino-pending... I had a female caramel waiting to be shipped but it got an RI so the dealer and I canceled
0.1 mojave
0.1 ghost
and I desperately desire a pied... male female doesnt matter as long as it fits in the budget
