which ball pythons should i get?

@Ezekiel285 i love the unsexed retic at the bottom of your wishlist

you can look on kingsnake classifieds to get a general idea of price ranges , you can also find just about any of the morphs you have listed in the classifieds. Also keep in mind all of the ones you listed are all single gene base morphs, you would prob be better off to throw alot of double gene animals into that mix

which snakes on that list are normally under $250?

I understand, but I still wouldn't buy 7 males and 7 females straight off. I would start with maybe 1 or 2 males and 3 or 4 females and then go from there.

I suggest you look on that site that i sent you. I really don't understand why you would just buy lots of cheap snakes to immediately fill up your rack, but it's your money. After having the few snakes that I do i've realized that paying the extra for a quality animal IS worth it. If you aren't making good looking morphs then it is gonna be hard to sell them.

I'm not picky, I like surprises :P

You don't have to fill you're rack immediately. Like what other people said quality> quantity.

All right so after reading this I've got some ideas. 1. You don't need 7 males like many people have said. It takes a female a decent amour to get to breeding size. So feeling your racks full do no good. 2. It appears you dot really wanna do your research and just want the information given to you. Half those snakes you posted are easy to find prices for on kingsnake,fauna and other sites. On top of that half of those that your looking for you won't find for around 250 for a female not web a hatchling. I too am new in breeding balls I'm hoping my female pastel gets up to size this year so I can get my first clutch but what I did was bought a 700 gram female pastel that yes cost almost 500 bucks which is still cheap and a male Mojave that was 600 grams just so I can get a clutch possibly this year. My advice would be do more research

i dont want cheap snake i want qulity low range morphs.

hows this list?

4 normal males
Bumble Bee female
Mojave female
fire female
enchi female
Lesser Platinums female
het piebald male
het piebald female
pinstripe female
albino female
vanilla female

Why would you get normal males? I highly suggest you do major research about genetics, breeding, and even selling your hatchlings before trying to fill a rack. I know no one is born knowing, but I think you are trying to move too fast too soon.

i would get normal males because i will still get morphs (50/50) with almost all of the snakes on the list.

1 male can breed multiple females. a pastel male and the het pied male would be able to breed your entire list of females and save you a lot of money on feeding costs. i used the male pastel as a generic example but male dominant or co-dominant morphs are fairly inexpensive. other than that the list isnt bad, given the albino female on the list I recommend a het albino male rather than 4 normals.
