2013/2014 Breeding Projects?

I know some of you will wait to tell us what you're working on until the spring. But for those of you in the same boat as me, what are the projects you are most excited for this season?

Mine are:

-Super Pastel Axanthics (Pastel het. Axanthic X Pastel het. axanthic)
-Vanilla Creams (Vanilla x Pastel)
-Pewters (Cinnamon X Pastel)
-Lesser Bees (Lesser X Spider)
-Enchi Albino ??? (Enchi het. Albino X ??? het. Albino) - My only secret because it will be a WOBP first if I hit the three genes.

Those are my exciting projects (at least I am excited about them)

How about you guys?

Myself and sugar shane are doing a two (possibly three) joint projects:

My albino X his pied
My het pied x his pied
possibly my pastel yb x his yb (May try for pastel ivories again. Got 2 ivories, a pastel yb and a yb from a 4 egg clutch last season)

My Own projects:

enchi X lesser (if my lesser gets up to size..this will be her second winter but she may wait til next year if she doesn't get to 1500g)
black pewter x Pastel (going for a silver streak again)
mojave x mojave
enchi x normal
Still debating the others

My first pairing won't come until next fall. Spider-Mojave X Mystic Pastel.

This will be the first for me. The kiddos and I are going to document (for school) the following:

Emp Pin x Pastel

It should be a fun time for us. :D

wow for first pairing you two have some awesome genetics to put together!!

The only BP female I have that's old and large enough to go this year is a normal. Fortunately my citrus pastel ivory male is ready for her. Otherwise I have 1.1 BRB's who I'll be pairing.

I think the two that I'm most excited about are my lesser Pied male to a cinnapin and a spider 66% het pied.

When my girls get big I want to do this:

bumblebee x blast
spider x enchi
black pastel just won't have a partner unless I can get something nice for a decent price because if I get a Mojave she's getting shipped to a friend to hook up to a lesser/butter so I can try to hit a BEL.

Since we decided to start this up I have dragged the kids to an expo at least once a month now. They are having a tremendous blast! Funny, last one we attended, just walking the aisles, my 11 year old compliments one of the breeders on a really good looking pied on display. I turned around and asked him "what did you say", concerned that maybe my child spoke out of turn and he told me that pied looks freaking awesome!.. LMAO.

If we are successful and get to see some scale kids pip, the boys have a pretty long grocery list for 14'-15'. We'll see how things go. ;)

hahahaha! That's awesome Tony! I can't wait till I have kids to involve. I think it's an awesome experience for kids.

My kids have been going to a lot of shows with me over the last couple years and it is fun how they get into it. About two months ago my 8 year old saw a spinner that he loved and kept asking about. After about an hour a said if you can get them to take $200 for it we can get it. Thinking there was no way they would. About 5 minutes later he came back with a huge smile on his face saying that they would take it. Now we have a little spinner girl that I didn't really plan on. But you can always use another nice looking girl. And more importantly I love that he is getting into it and now has one that is "his".

Two of my anticipated pairings include:

Hypo Enchi x Pastel het Hypo (I need more PEGs)
Hypo Enchi x Fire het Hypo

Probably nothing this season. But, if I do, it will be Pied 50% PH Albino x Pied 25% PH Albino and/or that male Pied 25% PH x visual Albino.

That would be really awesome to try and prove out. Albino Pied will be the official "PET" in my home. And I dream some more. :dance:

Vanilla creams are vanilla fires. :gj:

Both my males are just babies right now but once they get to size all my girls i want to pair to them should be up to size too. Hoping to produce...

Fire hypos
Fire honeybees
Caliderbellies
Calider fires
Calider cinnies
Cinny pieds (need to get a pied male for my cinny het pied girl still)

EDIT: i also have 3 other females that idk what i want to pair to lol.

Well.... not too early to think about it and I have already tentatively put my pairings on paper and dropped temps last week 2F. Paired 5 couples yesterday with one lock already. The plans might change a bit, but not by much.

0.2 Fire 100% Het Clown will be seeing a 1.0 100% Butter Het Clown to try for the first Nuclear Clown with a 1.0 Pastel 100% Het Clown as a back-up for either.
0.1 Clown to a 1.0 Banana
0.1 100% Het Clown will see my 1.0 Butter Het Clown or 1.0 Clown

0.2 Pieds... 1.0 Black Pastel 100% Het Pied and 1.0 100% Lesser Het Pied (possibly a 1.0 Pastel 100% Het Pied if he gets enough size). 1.0 Pied "Holmes" is always on back-up!!

0.3 Albinos.... 1.0 Pinstripe Albino and 1.0 Spider Albino (possibly a 1.0 Enchi Albino if he put some size on)

0.2 Champagnes.... 1.0 Enchi Fire

0.3 Spiders.... 1.0 Banana, 1.0 Nuclear

0.3 Pinstripes.... 1.0 Banana, 1.0 Nuclear

0.5 Pastels.... 1.0 Banana, 1.0 Enchi Fire, 1.0 Enchi Pastel, 1.0 Sugar Fire

0.1 Super Pastel.... 1.0 Sugar Fire

0.1 LemonBlast.... 1.0 Banana

0.1 Enchi..... 1.0 Banana

0.1 Butter.... 1.0 Mojave- already locked yesterday.

I have been pairing for a couple of weeks now, but I'm shooting for bumblebees, albinos (trying to prove one out), and have a het pied female whom I'm going to pair up to my Mojave male PH pied to try to prove him out if he gets big enough.

Next year will be my first time breeding! I am so excited with the possibilities that are out there it's almost too much to take in lol. I am currently planning on:

• cinny pied><cinny pied
• cinny pied><spider
• cinny pied><pastel
• pastel><spider
• spinner blast><cinny pied

Can you tell I like cinnys?? I'm sure I will come up with a few other pairings but that's what I can think of for now!

In october I will start pairing:

Yellow Belly (Female) X Bumblebee (male)... trying for the bumblebelly
Albino Spider (Female) X Albino (male).. for more albino spiders
Dinker (Female) X Not sure yet!... Trying to prove out my awesome dinker's pattern but her first clutch is too young yet to breed back

Next year I will pair:

Butter (female) X Cinnamon or Fire (male)... for lithiums or Fire Butters
Mystic Potion (female) X Special (male)... for Crystals
Yellow Belly (Female) X Cinnamon or something else... not sure
Dinker X Dinker's male baby... recessive?
Albino Spider X Albino
Pied (female) X het albino het (pied male)... working towards the albino pieds!
Cinnamon (female owned by my friend) X Green pastel (male)... for gargoyles

... Its an exciting time!!

Nothing exciting:

Bee x lesser het albino
Pied x het pied
Normal x Bee

This will be my first year for breeding any of my co-dom females so nothing real exciting for any veteran breeders. But very exciting for me. All the females are being cycled with 2 males. I don't really care who gets the job done, I want some of combos off of every one of them.( 0.1 Mojave x Butter / Mystic) (0.1 Albino x Het. Albino / Pinstripe) (0.1 Pastel x Butter / Fire) (0.1 Pastel x Pinstripe / Super Pastel). I have seen locks from all the males except the Mystic and the Fire the 2 that I had hoped would go the most. I have 3 more females ( 2 Mojave and a Black Pastel ) that I hope will get to size a little later in the season right now they are all sitting around 1200 grams. I want to put my Butter with the Black Pastel if she makes it this year, but if not next year for sure. Best of luck to everyone this season.

I have also been thinking of putting a spinner blast to a enchi lesser!!

Killerbee het axanthic x Pastel Axanthic (c'mon axanthic killerbees and super pastels!)

Killerbee het axanthic x Axanthic (same pairing that produced my female axanthic bee this year)

If the butter hypo is up to size he will also be paired with the plain axanthic with hopes of a couple double hets.

1. TSK Axanthic X Leopard & Spider 100% Het Axanthic
2. Firefly X Banana Spider & Leopard
3. Lesser Blackback X Banana Spider & Pewter Blackback
4. Orange Ghost X Stinging Bumblebee PHOG
5. Pastel X Banana Spider & Stinging Bumblebee PHOG
6. Spider X Leopard & Pewter Blackback
7. Ivory Jungle Woma X Puma
8. Pinstripe X Banana Spider & Leopard
9. Killer Humblebee X Clown
10. Black Pastel X Undecided on this one.....

I think that's all, a few of those girls are dependent on size but they are garbage pits so I think they will be ready. It'll be a busy season here :-)

Wow Tons of awesome projects coming up :D Thanks for sharing everyone!!

nothing to exciting for me but I will be shooting for my 1st 3 banger

lesser x bumblebee

pied x cinnamon

pastel het pied x het pied

Some of the most anticipated pairings for this year are:

Pastel Banana
Leopard
Pastel Champagne

to all of the following

normals
Pastels
Mocha
Mojave
and a few other girls, hoping to get up to size.

I also have a few, behind the scenes dinkers I'm trying to prove out. But nothing crazy, so for now they're just a side project of fun.

I'm planning on a big year! I know it's risky, but I'm going to shoot for Super Black Pastels. I've got 2 unrelated lines: Male Hypo Black Pastel from Gulf Coast Reptiles, and female Ian G line Black Pastel from Pacific Coast Reptiles. Also got a lot of Sulfur, Calico, and Spotnose stuff going on.

I'm most excited about my Spotnose projects and hitting some Specter combos hopefully.
If I could produce some Powerballs or Powerball combos I'd be a very happy man!! ;) :D

I'm always stoked for breeding season. I produced some nice animals this 2013 season. This is the plan for 2014 so far:

Orange Dream X Pied
Orange Dream X Ivory
Orange Dream X Normals (10-12 egg producers)
Pastel Pied X Yellowbelly
Pastel Pied X Pinstripe
Pastel Pied X Pastel
HypoMojave X yellowbelly het hypo
Hypmojave X Pastel het hypo
Pastel Yellowbelly X Pastel Yellowbelly
Pastel Yellowbelly X Yellowbelly

We have a lot really exciting projects going this year. Really excited for our Gravel, Leopard, and Mahogany projects the most. Also hoping to get some Bumblebee Clowns again this year as well.

So far, these pairings are a def:
Bee x lemonblast
Spider x lemon blast
Het axan x het axan
Pied x spider poss het pied
...and if the girls are up to size:
Champagne x ivory
Butter x butter
Axan poss het albino x albino
Paired a few a couple times already, but id like to give the girls till November to gain some more weight.

Nothing too crazy, but this will be my first year breeding so I'm extremely excited!

pied x het pied
pied x het pied
enchi x normal
mojave x spider (extreme reduced pattern)

Only have one pair breeding this year and its a Pied to a normal.

Next year will be fun, though!

I'm still debating if I'm even ready to breed or not... I have a female that might be ready this season, and will be buying a second who should be ready this season. Just deciding if I am or not... lately I'm leaning toward "Just jump on in with both feet!"

If I do go ahead...
I would breed my orange ghost to my honeybee, if my og is ready. I would be excited merely for the reason this is my first clutch!!!

The girl I'm getting is a citrus pastel yellowbelly. I have an opportunity to buy a specter with her, and could breed them to get super stripes. I REALLY like the superstripes... the big question for me is whether I should be spending all that money on snakes right now or not... :/
If I do... I'll be more excited about this possible clutch than the first, and hoping for that super stripe.

Most excited for Jigsaw blast X Cinnamon.... Chainsaws and leatherface here I come :cool:

vanilla x fires - sorry lol

Has anyone tried nuclear x nuclear? I'm not a breeder so I won't be trying for them but has anyone else? I'd like to see the results, you could get an interesting mix, I'm most interested in fire super butters, butter super fires, and super nuclear (I'm pretty sure no ones ever bred those morphs before). I think it would be an interesting experience and I'd like know the results.

If I had both those snakes no way they'd ever see each other.
You won't know for sure what's what ...

This year the only ones I have ready are a normal female and a dinker im trying to prove out cuz I don't know what the parents were. But on my wish list to hopefully do next season is a super with a leopard, so dang pretty. Maybe a less and butter bee might be in as well for next year.

Right now I have no clue who I'm putting my white Diamond boy with but

Ivory x Pastel Specter and Bumble Bee
Pastel Champagne x normal and Calico
Sulfur 100% het VPI Axanthic x VPI Axanthic

Let me know who you all think I should put with the WD boy or if I
should buy a certain girl just for him. Ideas and suggestions are all welcomed.
All my other girls are too small.

Male	Female
Lesser	Harlequin
Pastel	Normal
100% Het. Albino	100% Het. Albino
Lesser	Pastel

For me I am going to lean towards alot of Banana gene morphs for the 2014 year. It is hard to say what else I will acquire before 2014 season so most of it is still up in the air.

2014
Banana x Pied ( Main Project)
Banana x Axanthic
Banana x Cinnamon ( Need to find a breeder girl after this season)
Banana x Black Pastel
Banana x Pastel

After an 8 year break I just got back into Ball Pythons this year. I was lucky to buy a small collection with some big morph girls. This years will be mostly Pied Project.

2013
Pied X Pastel
Pied X Albino
Pied X Black Pastel
Pied X Het Pied
Pinstripe X Pastel

ivory x Mojave or jigsaw x bumble bee also this is my first time trying to figure out what to buy the ivory male and settle for a cheeper female, or the jigsaw and the bumble bee. anyone got any hints

Spider het hypo x butter het hypo

Possibly if my girl keeps eating the way she does

Mojave x butter het hypo
