What would you get?

So, its not even close to the time for me to get my next check (and my last :( ) but I'm tossing some ideas around in my head on what to add next to my group of ball pythons. So far I have one 100% het pied male, a normal female and two pastels, one male and one female.

In May, I get a nice check in the mail and the majority of it I'm going to save, little to invest, some for school, and some for ball pythons. The amount I'm taking out for ball pythons? $2000.

I've already got some ideas of what to spend that on, but I was wondering what would you get if you were to spend $2000 on just ball python morphs. I know $2000 won't buy you much, but just wondering.

Really depends on what you want, my next choices would be a pinstripe, mojo, if you want to breed a couple really nice normal females. Maybe even a ghost/hypo they make some awesome combos.

Well here is what I'm considering getting. One of the expensive ones or a combination of the more affordable ones.

Spider male
Pair of het albinos
Albino
Het Pied female
Mojave
Pinstripe

Something along those lines.

I totally forgot about the spider! So do you plan to breed or just pets?

Hi,

I would go for 100% het pied female and/or pastel lesser.



del

You know with that much to spend you could pick up a good portion of that list, especially if you find them all from the same breeder you will probably get a way better deal.

how bout racks supplies ad such

I plan to breed. I believe my first season will be '09-'10. There is already money set aside for another rack so I'll have room for four more snakes come May.

You could get a Pied Female, and I don't know any breeder who wouldn't throw in a het. male with her. With that you could produce Pieds in three seasons.

A het pied is definatly on my list, but I just can't seem to find any. I'd probably get one of those now if I could find one for a decent price. :D

Contact some breeders - NERD, 8ballpythons, Bailey Reptiles, etc - if they don't have any het pieds now, I'm sure they will this spring.

Definatly will then. I think we've decided on what we are looking for come May. I might break down and get one sooner as soon as I'm able to get the rack.

Spider Male
Het Albino Male
Het Albino Female
Het Pied Female

Then the year before our first breeding season we are going to be getting all the things we'll need for baby pythons like a hatchling rack, incubator, probes, ect. :D

I know Adam has some het pied males at the moment...

With the money you are willing to spend you can definitely get the morphs or het's you want. You can get an albino and 100%het pied female and probably have some money leftover.:2cent:

i would get a het pair of clowns...JMO tho

I would pick up a breeder size het pied female and try to produce pieds next season.

another vote for het pied female.............one of the first BP morphs and look how popular they still are. Plus, try to think even further ahead and plan for some combos. Think Axanthic Pieds, Caramel pieds, etc....
