    What to do.....

    So I am just looking for a few opinions from those who care to help. I am just getting started with a few projects, I have the others figured out just kinda stuck on one. I have a 09 male mojave and am looking to get him a mate just curious on what some would choose to get. Thanks for taking the time to read and for your help.

    my suggestion would be to get a mojave/butter/lesser female and shoot for some BEL's.

    I had contemplated the idea, but I was trying to look at a project that had a little more future potential. I am new to bp breeding but I was under the influence that there wasnt much of it with bels, again I am still learning so correct me if I am wrong.

    Find a combo you like a go for that. After all your the one that has to feed and clan and get bit by them. You might as well enjoy looking at them..

    Re: What to do.....

    yeah I suppose your right.. I just wanna continue to progress and try to stay up on moving forward with the bp market. I know that I am light years behind what most are working on I figure you gotta start somewhere. Right now I have the following.
    Het pieds 1.2
    Spider 2.0
    Pastel 0.2
    Mojave 1.0
    Albino 1.0
    Het albino 0.3

    Right now and as I have been since I got my first reptile as a child i am just someone in it for the love of the animals and the hobby. One day though 5 to 10 years down the road i would like to be considered a breeder and open my own reptile specialty shop. But for now I will continue forward with baby like steps absorbing all the info i can from such knowledgeable people as all that reside here. Thanks

    Looks to me like you have a few nice collection of different morphs
    That would be a cool thing to have your own shop but their are a lot of costs that people normally don't take into consideration when planing things like this out(not saying that's you) Just make sure to make a solid business plan and stick with it

    I've spent thousands on my fish hobby alone its a little scary thinking about how much I'll be spending now that I'm getting into the world of herps.
