?? Number of Codom Breeder Males ??

[RebelYell83]

although we are much smaller then most people here,but we are going with the 2 of each male trend,i traded off my pastel male,so our only pastel hit this year will be our shot at a bee,but we hav 2 pastel males being raised up,we have 2 het pieds,2 cinnies,,so far just one YB and one mojave,but i am getting a OB male to use as a 2nd YB,so incase one male just doesnt go(like last season one het pied wouldnt go,the 2nd did)or issueswith health with one,or you wanna run a lot of female to a certain morph that year,haveing a 2nd or even 3rd male of that type does come in handy

spotnose
mojave
pinstripe
pastel
lesser
black pewter
pastel yellowbelly
ivory
and also my albino male is a dom blackback

[JenEric Reptiles]

1 pastel
2 spiders....high white/low white
1 cinny
1 lesser

should have a few soon enough

[monk90222]

2 spiders....high white/low white

That's a good point too. Some people keep different types of the same morph...busy pin/reduced pin, high white/low white spider, etc..

I have:

1 Spider
1 Pastel

I plan on getting at least one co-dom male at Daytona next year. I plan on keeping 1.1 of each morph, no matter if it is dom, co-dom, or recessive, or a combination of things. That's far in the future though. This year, I'm hoping to produce a female spider and a female pastel so then I'll have my 1.1 of Spider and Pastel. Then next year, I'm hoping to produce a male pin.

[Oxylepy]

NONE! ... single co-doms OUT! ... double and triple (or codom+recessive) IN!!

You gots to stay 2 steps ahead at all times!

And that's what I'm breeding for when my gals are big enough

Lesser Fires and Lesser Pastels.

EDIT

So I guess there are 3 pages now, who knew :/

I've only got 40 or so snakes (that I'm keeping) so far, and I've honestly got too MANY males right now, but here's what I've got:

2 lessers--one breeder, and his son from this year who's going to back him up.
1 orange ghost
1 albino
1 yellowbelly
1 spider
1 cinnamon
1 woma
2 pastels (their father is up for sale, and one of them is my husband's pet, so not technically a breeder).
1 mojave
1 pied

I'm at the stage now where I'm picking up lots of normal females, and putting the lessers with most of them. I have a couple of female het pieds to go with the pied, and 3 het albinos to go with the albino. I only have one adult morph female, a woma. She's going with a lesser again this coming.
The rest of the males will be put with just ONE female apiece--if she doesn't go, then I don't get any of those. I'll be keeping every female from each one of those single clutches--the rest will be for sale. I'll only be keeping a woma-lesser if I happen to produce 2.

My reason for having all those males in the first place is finally coming into play--to make me lots of morph females, so I can move to the next step, lol. I'll be keeping just one each of them on hand, too--as soon as possible, they'll be going with a female of the same morph to make me double co-dom males. They will be retired and sold as soon as I have a proven double-co-dom of their type to replace them. I'll have to be picky about those pairings, though, as quality will be extremely important. I may need to 'upgrade' my pastels down the road. The male pastel was my first morph, and my current pastels are really nice and blushy, but not as bright as I would like, as adults. My other males are superb, though. Hopefully I'll be able to pair them with really good complimentary normals, and produce some killer females. I'm pretty pleased with what I've gotten so far. Even the hets look great.
