    Ideas for new female.

    Hey Guys,

    I wanted to get some input on what you guys, in your opinion would get as a secondary female. I want to breed my BP in the future, This will be the first time I tackle anything of this nature but it wont be for at least two years. I want to get a second female and I want to get her early enough to get to raise her and learn her habits. Wondering what you guys would get based on my current BP's.

    I have one Female Pastel BP and I recently picked up a Pastave 100% Het Hypo male at Repticon last month. Getting ideas of what would breed good with my male so I can look out for it at the Reptile Super Show in August.

    Budget would be a limiting factor for me, would like to limit it to no more than $300.

    Not looking to make money by selling, just looking for the experience in breeding and hatching some good looking snakes to keep in my collection.

    Thanks for your input and opinions!

    i would get a girl that complements your boy well. like an Enchi Hypo or something in the BEL complex - Lesser/Butter, Mystic, Phantom, etc. - visual or 100% het for Hypo.

    Thanks for your input, Ive heard the term BEL before but have not really understood what it meant. Tried to google it but wasn't too clear.

    BEL either means Blue Eye Leucistic or Black Eye Leucistic. They're a group of morphs that have the ability to produce all white snakes with blue or black eyes. Mojaves, Lessers, Mystics, etc. belong to the blue eye group and Yellobelly, Specters, etc. belong to the black eye group.

    I really appreciate you clearing that up for me. Definitely would love to have an all white snake.
