Long Term Plans....
I was doing some planning to figure out when I should be able to breed, what I should be able to breed, and what I should produce in the next few years. By my guess, I should be producing pieds and hypos in 2008...maybe 2007 if the BP gods favor me. Three years is a long time away but I can't help but think about the future.
What is everyones' long term plans are for bp breeding? Like 3-5 years down the road, what are your goals?

Re: Long Term Plans....
Hm.. pieds and maybe albinos.. it's all I can afford to get into that I like. I don't care for pastels really..

Re: Long Term Plans....
well since i'm only 12 i just plan on breeding vanessa to zulu and produce a clutch of good old normals, in like 2-3 years. when i move out is when i'll start making morphs out of some hets and i'll go from there.:)

Re: Long Term Plans....
this year i am going to breed:
-albino male to 2 normal females
next year i will breed:
- albino male to a 50% het albino girl and possibly to a 100% het if she is ready
- pastel male to at least 2 normal females
- hypo male at least 1 normal females and maaaaybe to a 100% het if she is ready
the year after that:
- albino male to 50%, 100% het and normal girls
- pastel male(s) to normal females
- hypo male to normals and 100% het female
- whatever else i have picked up by then :)
after that:
- albino x albino
- pastel x pastel
- albino x pastel
- hypo x hypo
- hypo x pastel
- etc, etc.
that's kinda just off the top of my head. i don't really have a steadfast mapped out plan (other than the one that just involves getting more balls!) :D

Re: Long Term Plans....
This year I will be breeding my 50% het males to a friends adult normal females. I can't breed them to my normal females 'cause they aren't up to weight, and still won't eat. Getting quite frustrated with them. Three years form now, will be breeding my males back to the daughters I get this year. Is it much of a hassle keeping it straight, who came from whom and the father was..? I plan on making labels for their tubs and coming up with some kind of serial number plan. What I would LOVE to get are a Platinum or two (or twelve!!)! They are beautiful pythons, and the possibilities they can make just keeps growing! It will be quite a few Pied sales before I can even think of getting a Platinum, though.

Re: Long Term Plans....
Holy Wow Batman!! :eek: !! I just did some crusin' on Ralph Davis' page and came across a Lavender Albino Piebald!! What a cool combination. She is on page 12 of his 'Birthing Record', http://ralphdavisreptiles.com/birthi...pythons_12.asp about half way down. Now THAT is something to aspire to!!

Re: Long Term Plans....
I only have the one normal male right now. He's putting on weight so fast I'm thinking he'll be ready to go next season without a problem. He's up to 340g now and he's gaining about 50g a month.
The girls that I just purchased from Adam will take a while to get up to breeding weight. 100% Het Caramel, 2 Pastels 50% Het Hypo, and 100% Het Hypo. If all goes well, in a year or so, I'll get a het hypo male, a het caramel male, a pastel het hypo male maybe, and I'm also hoping to start a pied project along with hopes to start a spider project.
So... in three years, I'm hoping to get pastels, super pastels, hypo pastels, caramels, hypos, spiders and pieds. In six to seven years, I'm hoping to get some pastel pieds, caramel pieds, spiders, bumble bees.. spider pieds would be awesome.
My girlfriend REALLY wants to start on an albino project as well. That'll have to be done with hets that I'll probably get next spring.
Got my shopping list down, Adam?? :)
Other than that.... no plans really. lol

Re: Long Term Plans....
3-5 years...
Super Pastels
Pastels
hopefully some ghosts
on the way to making ghosts pastels
dunno what else.
I really would like to get a pair of het piebalds, at least one albino and a spider ball someday. I dunno, I may save up and drop some $$$ on a cinnamon pastel.
I may have to put the ball project on the sidelines long enough to put down a nice deposit on a house.
I've got to get some more racks first.

Re: Long Term Plans....
2-4 years I plan to start off small by gettig a couple het albinos then maybe pastels and then pieds, then I will start getting into different morphs. Thats when I plan on getting a business license for the reptile business I plan to have soon.

Re: Long Term Plans....
This season I'm breeding a 100% Het Albino male to as many females as he can so I can have a good healthy stock of 50% Het Albino females. Next year my Albino male will be breeding to two 100% Het Albino females. Also, next year I will be purchasing 2.4 Het Pieds, and the year after that will be purchasing 1.0 Pied. All my Het males will be bred to normals to get 50% Hets for my morph males to breed with. I'm not sure what morph I'll move onto after that. Everyone has dreams; I'm just waiting to see what the market will be like in 3 or 4 years. Sound like a plan?

Re: Long Term Plans....
in 2 years i will be breeding a 100% het male albino or maybe a 100% het hypomelanistic male to a normal female.
-
Re: Long Term Plans....
i got it all straightend out, im getting a 100% albino male to breed with my normal female in 2007-08. i will keep the female babies to breed them back to the dad in 2009-2010 to get albinos.

Re: Long Term Plans....
My long term plans are as follows. pastels 100% het axanthic next year, 100% het axanthic next year. albinos in 2007. my weird looking spider female will breed in 2007 and maybe some others who knows.
-
Re: Long Term Plans....
Mine are 1.1 100% Het albinos to breed together and 1.1 100% Het Pieds to breed together. I'm sure ill buy them as soon as Adam has them available. I'm not sure when they will be ready to breed but ill feed them nice and steady to get them up to size.

Re: Long Term Plans....
I have a het female on the way from top shelf exotics and plan on selling my het male (anyone interested?). Then i will buy an 06 albino from adam next fall to breed to my het females when they are ready (in 08 hopefully) I plan on keeping/trading 2 or 3 female albinos and reinvesting the profits into some piebalds. maybe 3-5 het female pieds. Then in 09 use profits again to buy a pied male and maybe axanthics, mojaves, hypomelanistics? There are just way too many morphs that i want lol. from there im not sure... breed my pied male to albino females to get double hets. But thats so far off, who knows whats gonna be out in 5 or 6 years.

Re: Long Term Plans....
Well currently I've just got a pastel male and a normal female. Both are on their way to breeding size, so hopefully I'll be breeding them(and hopefully a few more normal females by then), and seeing what I get from that. Depending on what I get from the breedings, I'll try to hold back a pastel female(and male, depending on what I produce) from the clutch(es) to produce a super pastel later down the road. With whatever I make from selling the offspring, I want to work up to a spider female. Once she's up to breeding size I'll breed her to a male pastel and hope for a bumblebee. After that, who knows. Currently the top of my list is super pastels and bumblebees. It's addicting though, so I doubt I'll stop there if I accomplish that. And if I don't accomplish my goals, oh well. I had some fun trying. :)
