Newbie, would like to breed in the future

I am a newbie, just getting my first ball python next week. This is the little guy I'm getting from Outback Reptiles. He is a super pastel from a genetic black back silver streak x pastel clutch.

I would like to venture into breeding in the future, what would you pair him with for some cool looking morphs?

I want to get a supper pastel and pair it with a pinstripe to get a killer blast

Killer blasts are awesome! that would be amazing if I could produce some...

Ya can't wait till I can make some

That snake is AMAZING!!! Good lord you got a great one, that is the perfect Super Pastel. I would get either a Spider or Piebald to mix him with.

To produce killer blasts you would need a super pastel and a lemon blast. If you just bred a super pastel to a pinstripe you would only get lemon blasts and pastels.

really my bad I thought thats what it said at world of ball python's should change it because it say's on it's site thats how you get one:confused:

Well, you could use a regular pastel, but you would still need a lemon blast to make the killer blast. I only say to use a super pastel because it greatly improves your odds of getting a killer blast.

If you are looking to breed in the future then I would get a female first because they take 2-3 years to get to breeding size where males only take a year! It is a beautiful super though!

Agreed, if you don't currently have females, you should get them first.

I went and looked and I think I see the problem.

Your looking at the contents not the recipie. :P

The site says

Quote:

GENETICS
Pinstripe ( Dominant )
Super Pastel ( Co-dominant )

Because that is exactly what morphs are in the snake.

But it is not what you need to breed together to produce that mix.
