    Well I have a male enchi and a male pastel. Not sure which one will get her first but I guess I have a few years to figure that one out. What do you all think? Maybe something else?

    i would keep 1.2 lesser bees... but at least the 2 female lesserbees.

    reason. Multigene animals will help you produce 3-4 morph animals in the future


    i would also think about keeping the female lesser... just in case you ever wanted to see some BELs in the future

    Well, I already have a male and female lesser that I'm waiting to pair for a chance at a bel. Right now she's still about 500 grams light but at around 2 and a half years old.

    Just about every clutch I want to hold back them all. I love all of them as soon as they hatch. Then when the next clutch hatches, I'm willing to let go of some of the first clutch. That to me is the hardest thing about breeding, not keeping EVERYTHING!!!

    Well, the first thing you have to do is establish a reputation for quality animals. Participation on the forums, like BP.net will get people familiar with you. Vending tables at local Expos is also a good way to get the word out. You can also join a local Herp club to get to know local enthusiast. Develop relationships with local breeders. The most important thing is to provide great animals and exceptional service. You do all that and you should have no problems selling.

    Yea, setting up a booth at a show isn't very cost effective for me since I'm small time. But I am fairly active on here and love my babies. I'm not trying to make money off of breeding. Just want to fund my hobby and stay informed. I love reading about and learning as much about them as I can.

    have you thought about keeping the male lesser bee, then when he grows up you can sell your current breeder lesser?

    at least keep both those sexy female lesser bees.... and make some queen bees and some enchi lesser spiders

    YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOO

    check your PMs
