    Re: what types of pythons make what?

    What were your original intentions with breeding them? If you want to make a little money on the side from breeding your beloved pets and you enjoy the hobby, it's one thing (so long as you treat them like pets and not "products" that you acquired overnight to make babies for you). But as for supporting your family with a business, ask any of the larger breeders and they will more than likely tell you they had to start somewhere and initially had to "invest" (so to speak) in a ton of quality snakes to get where they are now.

    To answer your question - (and I am by no means an expert, only a small time hobbyist) if you want to start breeding you should begin with something simple and go from there, say a pastel x normal. You can't expect to start with high end morphs right away unless you have a lot of $ and experience at your disposal. And for the extras that you want to sell "better" to people who just want them as pets and non-breeding purposes, I can tell you not too many people would drop $1000 on a bumblebee as a family pet. You also have to take into consideration that you are not a well-known and established breeder, therefore you cannot expect to charge the same prices.

    Good luck if you are really interested and have a good heart for these kind creatures. I hope you aren't discouraged. Just do it for the right reasons, keep your snakes' health and well-being at the front of your mind at all times
