Purchasing 2 hatchling morphs and a third within a month - advice
I have about $700 to spend on two 2010 morphs. I was thinking a bumblebee male and a mojave or lesser female for the first two. I was thinking of picking up a pastel female a month or two down the road. I'm doing this from a hobbyist stand point, not a commercial breeder. I don't mind making some money back to add new morphs to the collection though. What would you purchase first within my budget? What would you add in a few months to compliment the first two and provide some diversity and morph possibilities?
Regards,
B

So you buy the girls and put a little away every month, say $25 a week? Then at the end of the year you should have $1300 to drop on a male;)

Then get a 2011 male bee and put him with those females and have a chance at 3 amazing clutches. Killerbees, queenbees, spinnerblasts, and so on!! You'll probably be able to get a male bee for around $350 for an 11 hatchling. Any male bees I produce this year ill be selling for around $350. That's just something I'd do if it was me.
Great idea! I think that makes perfect sense. I just picked up my digital thermo/hygros, power cords for flexwatt, DIY rack, and will be shopping for all three snakes soon! I hope I can get a good deal with all three of them from one breeder. I just need to drive up to the Beanfarm and grab my Herpstat and Flexwatt and then I'll be snake shopping. Thanks for all the great posts!
