oh lord...you all warned me about this...

okay, so i just got my second snake. They are so frieking addicting after that. I thought that snake racks were totally pointless, but now i want another snake, and i know why you all have them. haha. Anyways...so i want to breed in the future, my normal male is a an '05, and i want to get him a future breeding mate. What type of morph do you guys think i should get? or, should i not even invest in a morph at all, and stick with a normal? I love a lot of morphs, Super Pastels are my favorite, Pieds, Hypos, and Axanathic.
Any suggestions from people that have gone through this before?
Thanks a lot!!!

Get whatever morph you like best.. dominant genes are nice because you can produce morphs in the first season. Pastels are a common first choice in a morph.

I would get a female pastel then breed the to in 2010 or 09 and you will get a 50/50 split of normals and pastels then breed a pastel male to your female and you may get a super

if i get a super and breed her to my male what will i get?
I am so bad with genetics...

Super bred to normal = all pastels.

haha. tell me about it. I am the same way with horses, but they are more expensive...i can handle only having one of those, but snakes, they are so darn cute, and not as expensive to keep, and i LOVE trying to keep the temperatures regular. It is a real joy for me! (not being sarcastic. lol)

A super pastel breed to a normal would give you all pastels.

It take 2-3 years to raise a female ball python to breeding size, so make a choice that you can be happy with for that time

and if i bred one of those pastels to the supers what would i get?
haha. im glad you all know about this.....

or you may do the albino morph idea buy 2 hets breed the hets and hopefully you will produce a albino or you can do what I am doing buy a pastel female and spider male then breed them produce bumble bees and sell or trade for a piebald or axathic

[whitesnake12]

pastels and supers
