Please know that I'm not trying to burst your bubble or anything- it just seems like a lot of new keepers try to jump into breeding very quickly and it's usually not the best idea.
    the thing is i dont wanna purchase 2 new BPs to breed, so i was thinking in getting her a nice, not common morph and breed her with. most of the clutch might be normals but im not really looking into making profit (not my goal) but then down the road those that are not normal will probably breed them back to the male, then think of getting a different morph to expand their genetics. but i appreciate your opinion! bubble not bursted haha, appreciate the help, i will consider it either way! still got time till she's ready anyways.

    There's a bit more to be thinking about than money made or spent. You are creating lives that will be around for maybe 40 years that need specialized care for their entire lives. How many people do you know that are going to drop $300 on a proper setup+thermostat for a $20 or free snake and responsibly home it for decades? Everyone wants to breed their snake, there's only so many homes.
