you'd be surprised. the market for a normal is entirely too saturated with not enough interest. most people encourage breeding pairs that will not produce normals for this reason: they don't sell.
what would you suggest if I want to breed for BEL's but not have a high chance of a normal? Throw a Banana gene in there?

i can't give you a suggestion because there's a million things i could suggest! you need to do some research on morphs, pairings, and figure out a direction you want to go with, because these animals and all their babies will be with you for potentially their entire lives; you need to like what you produce.
go to WorldofBallPythons.com and start browsing and typing stuff in, or play with the Genetic Wizard. this is how i learned about morphs and what morphs i want to work with. you have a lot to learn and a long way to go, and that website is STUFFED with info.

You got the Cart in front of the Horse my friend. There is so much to breeding that the morphs you like are the least of your worries. Not for nothing the market is so flooded with Ball Pythons many are culled. Enjoy those pets you just got before you wake up and wonder what the heck you were thinking in 6 months [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji216][emoji216][emoji216][emoji216][emoji216][emoji216][emoji216][emoji216][emoji216][emoji216][emoji216]

I have a ultimate plan. Just takes time and research to do well. There is a local home town pet store that is wanting a local breeder. Right now they order from online breeders and I could save them money and make some myself at the same time enjoy the process of learning and growing as a herp owner. We are talking year/s away from any real ground here. Might change my mind before I get that far for sure.
