Just starting Out

Hey guys. I'm just starting to breed ball pythons. I currently have a Male Mojave and a Female Normal. What do you think my next morph should be and why? I have a price range of a maximum for about $200ish. Suggestions please!

whatever appeals to you in your price range

lol i asked for some suggestions

You can get just about any base morph in that price range, but its kind of hard in a sense to suggest what someone else should buy, really it all depends on what appeals to you and if your wanting a pet or you have intentions for future breeding projects.

Two people can start with the same two bps but as the collection grows they will differ according to taste, me personally I would go the lesser female or spider female route

I would start raising some codom or dominant females if u really want something visual for the meantime. if u can deal with normal looking animals its not a bad idea to jump into hets for those nice recessives that hold more value. a pair of 100% het clown would be cool. just make sure u do research on the breeder/seller and that they have paperwork guaranteeing the genetics. good luck and come by the pet store I have the pastel I produced this yea for sale there now so u can come check her out.

IT DEPENDS ON YOUR TASTE BUT IT'S SOME MORPHS THAT DOES GREAT THINGS FOR BREEDING

SO HERE I GO WITH SUGGESTIONS

Fire (M)
Enchi(M)
Pastel(M,F)
Spider (M)

all of these i mentioned are $200 or less. You can get a pair of pastels from Garrick for $200

But if you can get a female and male pastel for cheaper than buying a female. Why not? :confused:

as long as quality is not compromised. Better to have one bangin' pastel than two wack looking ones.

not sure $200 can get you a female lesser/butter these days, but maybe a female mojo?

Hit the nail on the head. A smoking hot pastel can be mixed with anything and looking good. An average pastel has to be selectively bred to make select things look good.

I think a female Mojave would be hard pressed at that price and it better be local. When you kick in shipping the breeder is looking at less than $150 for a female mojave. With it as late in the season as it is I don't think people are going to be willing to take price hits on any quality females that have probably already started packing on weight.

Would hate to have someone end up with a picky eater due to trying to buy a bargain basement animal late in the season. Honestly things like being a picky eater and the like are hard to go back and fault the breeder for. Ultimately they can guarantee sex and health for so long, but the fact that an animal doesn't eat every week or even every two weeks is difficult since even if you buy it at a show they are normally stressed out upon arrival and then you throw in new environmental conditions and everything else... Late in the season like this you can bet bargain basement animals have some kind of baggage with them probably more than 50% of the time.
