Maybe I said I was 13 and then later on in the post I said because of a typo? Yeah, I would like to say I am 14 to make there is no confusion I was 13 when I posted that now I am getting the supplies and I am now 14 years old, 14. My dad is not gonna help me build a reptile room but he has changed his mind so I am selling my drums to get the money to get 2 ball pythons to breed. Also I am not quitting school to do this it is summer and I plan on stating in school.

I have been on this site for a little over a month and have seen dozens of posts of I wanna be a breeder so I can be rich.. sad to see what these animals conditions will look like.

I plan to breed selectively for me. I have a plan, I am collecting supplies and I am making contacts in the industry. i dont understand why people are so lazy they cant do their own legwork.

The reason I am only getting 2 snakes is so that I have money to spend on the racks I might wait until I can get the perfect racks for the snakes I just wanted to know some morphs to breed and I don't understand why no one will help I just keep being insulted and called a liar.

I would suggest you save your money and just purchase a pair of black pastels that are both het for pied. By the time you buy a pair of snakes, breed them, hopefully get eggs, hopefully hatch babies and sell them you probably could have purchased the snakes you want. Plus, you'll have a hard time making any profit from breeding two inexpensive snakes.

I have $400 dollars I just subtracted the money from racks, cages, supplies, and food. I did not ask this question to be insulted and to be told I am lying, so please don't do that just help me by answering my question.

Please point out where I insulted you or said you were lying?

What I posted is just a facts now you want to shortest answer to your question that is fine.

Okay perfect :) I started with a normal male too. He was sold to me as a girl but turned out to be a boy lol. So instead of using your normal male for a breeder I would invest in two morphs 1.1 male/female. But instead of buying that 1.1 pair right off the bat I would buy all of your supplies first and have everything ready for your snakes. The supplies are so much more expensive than the snakes. So get your racks, thermostats, water bowls, hides, whatever substrate you prefer, and your incubator. Have all your supplies ready. Then save up for a nice 1.1 pair or even 1.2 pair whatever you can afford. I'd also check out http://www.worldofballpythons.com it's an awesome site that I spend hours on :D it will help you figure out what morphs you like and where you want to go with your breeding plans.

i said I wasn't in it for the money and you said it looks like that is all I was in it for.

I never once insulted you or called you a liar. I made the point that what you are attempting to do is unreasonable and like not possible. My other point was that the market has turned from get rich energy drink schemes to breeding. The route you are going, you will be a CL breeder selling substandard animals for ridiculous prices and contaminating the market. I am a grown man with a good job. I am slow, methodical and I plan thanks to my OCD. I am building a 2nd 3rd and 4th rack of varying sizes before the end of the year. You know how many BPs I have. 1 male het ghost and am in the process of collecting more. Be prepared. Be methodical. PLAN. PLAN and PLAN AGAIN.

There is a saying - Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.

Figure that out and it will help you tremendously in life.
