What's a good morph to breed my male Patel bp too?

Hey guys I need you're opinion what should I breed my male pastel too . What can I get the most money out off

From all i have read on this forum nothing will make you money right away. It's going to take years to actually see a profit. And you won't always sell all the babies right away either. I have not produced any snakes yet but everybody says to work with what you like because you will most likely end up keeping some of those babies anyway. If you are in it for money you are in the wrong place. That being said you will need to find a female with as many genes as you can afford in order to get some cool stuff. What morphs do you like?

a normal or a $20k het. Scaleless...

Seriously though, that's the wrong question to ask. Everyone here will tell you to breed for what you like not what is gonna make you the most money. Doesn't matter what you breed your Pastel to, it won't make you rich.

The great thing about Pastel is that it's one of those morphs that makes most other ones look pretty great. Find another morph that you really like and see what happens when you combine them. I can only echo what others have already said, there's no quick moneymaking in BP breeding. You'll be lucky to break even the first few years. And any morphs that will help you make a profit, are expensive to begin with. So you'll have to break even on the price of the dam before you even see any profit from potential babies.

You'll get the most money out of it by not breeding it. If you still want to breed with the understanding that you will lose money doing so* (and there's absolutely nothing wrong with this... it can be an incredible experience), you should pick whatever female helps you work towards a morph you'd like to own.

*I'm making the assumption you don't already have housing, feeders, and potential customers for your hatchlings. If you do already have racks, an incubator, your own rodent colony, and customers patiently waiting for the third meal to take, then yes you will be able to help cover some of the overhead on the above.

How much are you wanting to spend on a female?

first off, it is never a good idea to breed a less expensive male to a more expensive female. it should be the other way around. as for making money of the male you have, get a spider and make bumble bees..but like most have already said, the investment is more than the returns for that single male you have..so best is to grow in the hobby, and build a love hate relation first.

A male pastel won't be making you money. If you breed him, it will be for enjoyment, it will more than likely cost you more money than you will be able to sell offspring for.

What will make you the most money? A 5 to 6 genes female or a het scaleless female. the problem is NO one would breed a 5 to 6 gene female to a pastel, just like no one would breed a het scaleless female to a pastel male.

No one would breed a 1K to 50K female to a $50 male.

So as far as money goes, well you are not gonna make money out of a pastel male, you won't break even, you'll get in the red.

Money Money I think you should step Back and really think about this , is it love or do you see Money you should take the time and do alot of research if done right this hobby is not one to be cheap with., these are Beautiful animals that who need love and care.

That is not necessarily true... For the most part, that makes sense when breeding a male to multiple females cus of the total $ amount you'd be spending on the animals. Buuuut if you're only breeding a pair of snakes, it doesn't matter who is worth what. You're going to get the same results.

I have a male pastel banana and I want to start breeding for fun. First thing is I don't expect to make money as the prices of ball pythons have dropped significantly. I'm going to be breeding for what I think looks cool. I would love to produce a super banana blast and a banana mochi. I would be lucky to produce either of those in a clutch and I wouldn't sell those. The ones I would sell would be the pinstripes, normals, bananas, pastels which will range anywhere from $50 to $450. So basically I would be breaking even. The only way I could make money is five years from now when I have an established breeding program and to get to that point you would have to have a lot of patience and love what you are doing.

Another thing to think about is the cost of feeding and It's a Darn good Idea or rather A Must is to have at least One Thousand dollars on hand to pay for A Doctor if needed. Murphy, s law.
Remember it takes money to make money. With all Professional breeders on Ball pythons there are all kinds of Morphs on the Market that took years to establish. [emoji4]

Breed him to 1 million dollars.....then you would have 1 million dollars...and a male pastel. :O

Breed it to another pastel. Super pastels are more desirable than pastels, and are still affordable to the masses.

It is possible to make money in breeding in general, but now in breeding a male pastel. You will need to invest in higher value breeders to break ever or make a profit.
