I need some advice

[Jason Miller]

I have 3 normal females and I was hoping for start up advice... I had at one point Male Mojave, pinstripe, pastel and a female pastel added to my collection but due to unemployment life took them from me I had to sell them to pay rent a few months... Now my question is Do I buy single base morphs again to breed up to combos or would it make more sense to breed one combo to multiple females? Any advice on how you would proceed is welcome positive or negative thankyou for your time

I would buy one nice combo male over a couple single gene males. A double gene male is like two snakes in one and it can breed all your females. Even if you have to save up, get a great example of your favorite combo. Hope that helps.

x2 Since you only have three females, one killer male could cover all three, and then you hold back female morphs to grow up and breed back to papa or a new killer male!

Is there any risks with inbreeding the offspring back to the father?

Not that I'm aware of, but you could always pick up a second male to out-cross with, since it will be a few years before those females would be breedable.

One 2/3 gene male and you will be all set. Breeding back daughter to dad is not bad but I woulnt do any more generations bred back etc- granddaughter to grandfather(aka your 2 gene male). I would also look for a male with some genes that have a super(like pastel or fire or any of the BEL complexes).
Check out some killer bees, fire spiders, spinners, pastaves, enchi mixes, or anything else you like. Your better off save up for a longer time for a animal that is a great example of the genes than buying cheap and getting a bad example.

A killer Bee or Super Pastel is good advice because then you will get at least all Pastels, no normals!

That is the exact reason I am getting a killer be male as my go to breeder male. That's also why I'm planning a lot of my future breeding around genes that go good with super pastels and spiders.
Don't get me wrong I love normals but I have other project planned that will have normal offspring( well they will be 100% het something at least)
