So now you are trying to sell / trade your python for a breedable sized female?! (I see you just put an add up in the for sale section) You seriously need to slow down.
I have seen so many people come and go in these forums that follow the same steps you have taken so far. you get a snake, you see that morphs cost money, so you immediately get the idea to breed right away to get some of the "easy cash." Or maybe you just want to jump in head first because the idea of creating your own snakes sounds cool...
Dude, do you realize it takes on average 7 months of breeding for eggs to be laid? then 2 months of egg incubation? then a couple more months of getting the hatchlings on a regular enough eating schedule to sell? then a couple more months (if your lucky) to actually sell them? Who knows how far the prices will drop between now and the year + it will take to produce a snake you can sell??? AND THAT IS IF YOU ARE ABLE TO GET YOUR FEMALE PREGO!!!! WHEN YOU GET A FEMALE AT A BREEDABLE AGE, ASSUMING THAT SHE WILL IMMEDIATELY ADJUST AND BE WILLING TO BREED IN THE FIRST YEAR COULD BE A SERIOUS MISCALCULATION!!!
Not to mention all the costs... feeding the breeders, housing them correctly, the incubator, the baby rack, the thermostats, the hides and bowls, the food for the babies, and the time.... The HUGE amount of time.
slow down.
