That is not necessarily true... For the most part, that makes sense when breeding a male to multiple females cus of the total $ amount you'd be spending on the animals. Buuuut if you're only breeding a pair of snakes, it doesn't matter who is worth what. You're going to get the same results.

I have a male pastel banana and I want to start breeding for fun. First thing is I don't expect to make money as the prices of ball pythons have dropped significantly. I'm going to be breeding for what I think looks cool. I would love to produce a super banana blast and a banana mochi. I would be lucky to produce either of those in a clutch and I wouldn't sell those. The ones I would sell would be the pinstripes, normals, bananas, pastels which will range anywhere from $50 to $450. So basically I would be breaking even. The only way I could make money is five years from now when I have an established breeding program and to get to that point you would have to have a lot of patience and love what you are doing.

Another thing to think about is the cost of feeding and It's a Darn good Idea or rather A Must is to have at least One Thousand dollars on hand to pay for A Doctor if needed. Murphy, s law.
Remember it takes money to make money. With all Professional breeders on Ball pythons there are all kinds of Morphs on the Market that took years to establish. [emoji4]

Breed him to 1 million dollars.....then you would have 1 million dollars...and a male pastel. :O

Breed it to another pastel. Super pastels are more desirable than pastels, and are still affordable to the masses.

It is possible to make money in breeding in general, but now in breeding a male pastel. You will need to invest in higher value breeders to break ever or make a profit.
