Pied options, breeding tips.

honestly If i had the pieds to breed and sell..... I would breed them and get into other projects, with the money you would make you could get into lavender albinos, desert, several double co-dom crosses, or whatever you like. You wont sell as many pied crosses as you would pieds because of price.....but you could buy several double gene animals that could produce awesome stuff down the road.....

How ever, if your looking to expand you own collection I would go with

Bee's (Out comes being Bee het pied, Pastel het pied, spider het pied, spider, pastel, Normal)
Albino for double hets
Spinner/any of the "blast" combos
Anxtethic (spelling?)
Caramel albino? idk but that would look sweet a pied CA :D /drool

Just my thoughts on the situation

P.S. Im a huge fan of pieds and pied combos hoping to produce my own this coming year, both hets are finally of size (well, the female is)

Nice thoughts thanks! Only thing about hets is id have to buy them from a reputable breeder to guarantee genetics. It would be nice to pick up a couple more 100% het pied females and get them up to size.

Any ideas how much a carmel albino goes for?

Also anyone know how many females you can put a first time male with?

So you can breed a mother to a son without any problems?

still have yet to get a definite answer ;)

I was replying to the post above asking weather breeding ball pythons to their parents or siblings is ok... Which I asked a couple days ago and still am not sure.

Considering the frequency of line breeding in BPs and the supposed data saying you can do so for numerous generations without ill effects I would say yes, you can breed parent/sibs to a snake. I, personally, would do it, however I would avoid doing it for numerous generations.

so basically your saying its ok to do a couple times but continuing to breed siblings together years and years or back to the parents for that matter.

All I know is what happens in humans with inbred and stuff.. I have yet to breed and wanted to make sure it wouldn't have any affects of the snakes being deformed, eggs going bad, snakes being wobbly (like the spider thing) or any illness.

Thanks a bunch!
