Correct!!!
Re: How do I start to breed morphs?
Great! Slowly starting to get my head around these genetics. I really do find it fascinating! So the next step is to look to get a breeder loan of a spider male to breed with, or take the plunge and buy one :O Any one have an idea of UK prices for such a snake? Any for sale? :D

£1195 :eek: :eek:
Think I'll have to look for a breeder loan instead, just can't afford to buy one :(
Re: How do I start to breed morphs?
You should see about getting on a payment plan from a breeder. That way you can have your snake in a few months and make payments you can afford.
Re: How do I start to breed morphs?
Just not sure I can justify spending that much money on a snake. I know some people will say I should not do things by halves, but I think I would rather get a breeder loan.
Re: How do I start to breed morphs?
how big is your female? have you weighed her?
Re: How do I start to breed morphs?
She is about 4ft long, 2.5kg and about 10 years old. She is still a virgin, but hopefully not for long ;)
Re: How do I start to breed morphs?
imo, since you already have female to breed with, i would buy a spider male. breed them, get some babies and make your money back. it would kind of be like getting a free snake and a cool expierence in one.
or just save up your money and buy a spider when you can afford one.

Re: How do I start to breed morphs?
I suppose that is an option, just a lot of money to outlay. The cheapest spider I can see on the net is £1000. Anyone seen any cheaper snakes? Of course you pay for what you get, but perhaps a small private breeder might be more reasonable than a large commercial breeder?
I also have a normal male of breeding age, so a possibility is breeding with him first to get some experience. What do you think?
