heya,

Starting this June i got back into ball pythons (or snake keeping in general) and i have spend 1525 euro's (1910 dollar) (including the pied female i pick up sunday 12th of october) wich to me is an significant investment.

when i pick up my pied lady i will have the following;

0.1 Orange Ghost
0.1 Super Fire
0.1 Lesser Pastel
0.1 Genetic Stripe pastel
0.1 Piebald
1.1 Pastel het. Piebald

I am picking up the female piebald at an reptile show and now my question comes;

should i invest more and get 1 or 2 more females or maybe get me a male or 2 and let the waiting game to breeding size begin? My biggest female is only about 600 grams so that would be a long wait, atleast untill the 2015 breeding season. the other females are only 300 grams or less.

please let me know what you would do. maybe even if it is buying a almost ready to breed female and a male to be "sure" to get a go at breeding in 2015.

I have another +/- 750 euro ( 940 dollar) saved up for that show on october 12th
