Choosing a male. Advice?

[Jcash34]

I sold my bumblebee to a friend and am looking for a male to breed to several females. I want a nice male and cheaper females to get nice offspring. Any ideas for the male? I am looking at pastel, cinnamon, spider and maybe mojave females. What male would you guys suggest? Spinner? Bumblebee? Thanks for your help!

How many snake do you wanna get and how much do you have to spend on all of them? Also im assuming you have a rack or enclosures for them or will you need to buy that too?

I suggest a pastel lesser.

With the pastel lesser you have the potential to make Super Pastels, pewters, bumble bees, pastaves,
Pastel Lessers, cinnamon Lessers, lesser bees, blue eyed leucistics, pastels, Lessers, and normals with your chosen females.(and other base morphs that your females are)

However, I would recommend just buying females first and get the male at a later date. Unless you plan on buying breeder size girls.
Females take around 2 years to get up to breeding size and/or sexual maturity. Males can reach sexual maturity within their first year.

I agree a nice Lesser Pastel would be a great male to add. I would also look at maybe adding a female Pinstripe.

I am planning on 1 male and 3-4 females. yes i have a rack to answer the other question. I've had snakes off and on but this is my first go round with breeding.

the male i am willing to spend 300-400 and the females under 200 preferably.

id get a pastel lesser like people said, that may be a bit more than $400 but i would wait on getting him bc it usually only takes a year for them to mature. For females id get a cinnamon, pinstripe, pastel, and spider. All can be found for $200 and under. Go to an expo and see what you like though, you dont have to get those ones...

[Mike41793]

A mojave female would be a good choice too actually so you can make BELs

[Jcash34]

appreciate your advice. people around northwest ohio seem to be running high on prices. been to a show the last two weekends and theyre asking 250 for female cinnis, 200 for spiders, 175ish for pastels. all seem kinda high to me. not having much luck.

Yea those prices seem a bit high to me too. Unless they were the best examples of the morphs youve ever seen lol... Im guessing that wasnt the case if you werent impressed...
