I am completely inexperienced with breeding snakes and am trying to do substantial research before jumping into anything so thought I would reach out for some help here.
I absolutely love pied BPs and I currently own just one snake which is a plain old (but very beautiful!) piebald male. I've been looking around at interesting pied combos and really love the look of pieds that have any combination of fire, orange dream, pastel or yellow belly. Are there any other combos I'm overlooking that might be good (and relatively inexpensive) to get into as a first time breeder?
I've also read elsewhere that it's better to breed females with less genes and males with more, but of course I have a single gene male so I'd be forced to shop around for females with lots of genes to breed him to. Is this going to end up holding me back at all if I choose to keep him as my only male for the foreseeable future? I didn't really have breeding or morphs in mind when I bought him as I intended to just keep him as a pet, but I've been growing more and more interested in breeding these animals over time.
Apologies if anything I've said makes me sound uninformed - I'm still doing my research and don't intend to start breeding until I feel confident I know enough
Thanks for any input!
