I want to get into breeding ball python's but I dont know what to buy first. I have been doing alot of reading, looking at pics and playing around with the genetics website.

I want to breed for bumble bee's and go from there. I dont know if I should start off with a female pastel then get a male spider a year later or just skip the spider and get a male bumble bee. Getting the spider will be cheaper and i will feel the accomplishment of making bees but then what to do with that male spider breeding wise.

I dont know what all I can do once I have a male bumble bee. Thinking of breeding male pastel to the female pastel for supers then doing super pastel to bumble bee.
What do you guys think?
