ok so heres what i decided to go with

[crimsonking87]

im getting an 06 mojave male and an 06 or 07 male pastel for 500 from a friend. ill get some wc females (3-4) to breed them too. then just keep the females morphs from the clutches to work with and sell the males and norms to buy other morphs with. let me know what you guys think.

Why do you want to get WC females?
CB females are getting fairly inexpensive.
Do you plan on keeping the females also...
Your new born females are not going to be breedable for a minimum of a couple years.

Yeah, get some CB Girls, sounds good otherwise.

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Why would you get wild caught females? Do you want to deal with internal and external parasites, animals not feeding, animals having problem adjusting in captivity (can't blame them) and animals that might NEVER breed for you in captiviy?

Do you have the experience to deal with a wild caught BP?

[crimsonking87]

i guess i see what your saying about the wc female. where is a good place to get cb normal females? and yeah i know it will be a 3 years or so before i can breed them but i think it be a good way to start. leaves my options open for a while.

From a respected breeder. Definitely not Petco
Do you want online or local?

[OhhWatALoser]

if you go to a big show like tinley park or daytona ive seen them starting at 10 bucks

There are plenty of fairly affordable CBB females up to weight for breeding, or close to(for next season).. Just look around, email breeders both local and abroad(who ship), and of course if you are close to shows, that's a good place to look.

Just remember to QT newly purchased snakes.

how many ball pythons do you have now? and how long have you had them?


Can't answer honestly till I have this info.
