    Thanks for this. I was starting to see this. I can't get a snake to breed and interbreed it to get what I want. Best thing to do is buy what I want and keep it at that and add some select offspring from the breeders.

    Hers a good couple pages written up by NERD that is pretty easy to understand.

    I respectfully disagree.

    When you are dealing with co-dom/ dom/ recessive three gene combo's the chances of you finding an unrelated one to buy is very low. And zero if you happen to be the first person trying to make the combo.

    I don't feel it is realistically within everyones means to produce multiple combo's like that given the investment in individual animals it would require.

    I'm all for adding fresh blood whenever possible but I also can see situations where the chances of it happening are low for the financial or space reasons you mention.

    And as long as it is not done generation after generation I don't think there is a massive risk to it either.

    But hey I've been wrong before.

    Thanks for your input here del. I figured there must have been interbreeding going on. I kept thinking about it last night:"Well how are these breeders getting all these combos etc." It would be expensive unless they trade but that just refreshes the blood line somewhat with his next.

    My vote is for a lemon pastel or butter/pastel. I'm a big fan of bees.

    Re: Male Spider Mate

    You seem pretty stuck on the woma ball python. Have u ever seen a Woma Spider Ball?
    http://www.newenglandreptile.com/ner...ll-python.html

    IMO they don't look that good.
    If you want to get visuals that first season and not HET's then go with
    Mojave
    Cinny
    Fire
    Lesser
    Pinstripe
    Normal
