Cheapest way to get into blue eyed luci

What would be the cheapest way to produce blue eyed leucistics?

I think it would be lesser female to a Mojave male.

by breeding a male in the BEL complex (Mojave, Butter, or lesser) to a female in the BEL complex. the most cost effective way would be to get hatchlings and raise them yourself. putting your first clutch about 2-3 years out if you are lucky. or you pay a premium for animals that someone else has fed and cared for for a few years and raised to breeding weight

Honestly, maybe the best way is to just buy one. Unless you find a male/female combo for decent pricing, you're better off maybe shelling out around 500 to get one. I know most go for about 700 but if you look hard enough with some luck you'll find some 500 and below. Just my opinion though.

I know which ones make blue eyed lucis and I know there all on the cheap side was just wondering what the cheapest way would be without buying a blue eyed luci. I really like them and it would more then likely be something I do just to do it not to make a quick buck

you can try to get a yearling male over 300g that is producing plugs and a female over 1400g, but chances are that even with that you will be in the $500+ range anyway, but you could get lucky.

The cheapest way to get one, once you factor in either buying adult ingredients or raising (feeding, bedding, heating) young ingredients is to buy one.

With that said, if you wand to do as a project to make one, then picking up any combo of Lesser/Butter/Mojave will do the trick if/when they breed.

Remember to factor in the cost of raising and breeding two snakes. It is a lot in food, heating, incubator, bedding, possible vet bills etc...

If you want to make it yourself, mojave x mojave. If you don't liket he grey head on the super mojo, replace the male with butter/lesser (males being cheaper than females).

Just buy one dude.

As said above time and care will be more money in the end

x2. Even if you got an adult pair of butters/mojos, etc, you still have to buy an incubator,hatch medium, etc. If you REALLY just want a bel, just go buy one. Hey, i dont blame you, theyre awesome. Buying one, esp a male is going to cost the same if not less than the other option. If you are looking for the gratification of producing your own, get a male bel, and a female/butter mojo. That way you can get some of your investment back with babies.

i think aiming for lesser mojave or butter mojave or super mojave is the cheapest way. i think the other genes that can be used like mystic or phantom or special or mocha or het russo will be more expensive.

The cheapest are Het russos. I don't think they're as attractive as a butter, lesser, or mojave, which is why they're cheaper. They've always been cheaper than the other listed morphs.

2 Het russos to make white diamond BELs.

I ended up just buying my Bel, Rather than buy two snakes to eventually make a bel. Haven't regretted it one bit. it's been great to watch her grow from 87 grams to 1200+ grams.

Yeah I think I might just buy a pair of BEL

I didn't go the cheapest route. I'm doing a proven lesser female and a '13 pastave male. I'm hoping for pastel bel's.

Super mojaves are still probably the cheapest to make or buy outright. But really, they're not THAT much cheaper anymore.

You might want to start with a mojave female, fatten her up for a year, and then pick some other gene for the male, like a lesser or a butter or a mocha. Or you could splurge on a special or a mystic and make potions or crystals rather than straight-up white snakes. Starting with a mojave female actually gives you a lot of options in the future.

But remember, if you start with two single-gene parents, the odds of making any kind of lucy are only 1 in 4 per egg.

You may as well go buy a BEL. The cheapest way is to buy babies in the BEL complex raise them up for a few years breed them and hope the female takes. Then is is only a 25% shot per egg that you hit a BEL. With all that waiting and money spent on rodents and what not, you may as well put 20 bucks a week to the side and in 40 weeks you can buy one out right.

What a coincidence! I just happen to have a Lesser/Butter Lucy that took his 5th meal today.:D

X 2 on this. Not only are the het Russo's generally cheaper, I also think they make some of the nicer Blue Eye Leucistics.

Where the heck did I hear that BELs are worth $7500?!?

I know a guy selling a mojoxlesser bel for 500 lol.

Well, they were. About three or four years ago. Maybe five, I don't remember. Prices drop pretty quickly once they reach a certain level. Somewhere around $1000.00 is still more typical.
