Breeders Top Five Must Haves

I'm surprised only one person has said digital scale so far ;p

1. great customer service
2. an understanding of the market
3. patience
4. new morphs to stay ahead of the curve and keep things interesting
5. a supportive spouse/partner

not having met you personally I can only vouch for numbers 1-4, but I can say with certainty that I appreciate breeders like you who live by the good advice they give.

Agreed, great advice is always highly appreciated!

I was hoping this thread might not be aimed at obvious must haves and more aimed at stuff such as neat gadgets, good BP books/DVD stuff of that sort.

an ultrasound. the information is priceless. not all female's breeding cycles fall between oct and march.

Learn to palpate
Good feeders
Tstat
Customer service and passion ( the most important)
Willingness to learn and spend money

A wife that says sure buy another bp!

Willingness to shut up and listen to people who know more than you and who've been in the hobby for awhile. In other words, willingness to learn!

A good setup that works for you (racks, tstat, temp gun, water bowls) and know how to use everything properly.

Quality breeding stock. Dont buy snakes just bc theyre cheap.

If you become a breeder then customer service is really important imo.

Unlimited funds. Not necessarily feasible, but itd be REALLY helpful! :D :p

I will vouch for #5.

A couple of weeks ago one of my babies escaped and CLIMBED THE STAIRS. She was chilling out watching TV with my husband in his man-cave. And then while I was in the middle of tearing up the downstairs looking for her, I heard him yelling: "I FOUND YOUR SNAKE."
