There is absolutely no reason, what so ever to interbreed(line-breed). Yes people do it. It is understandable when you are trying to prove out a wild caught morph or a dinker, but there is no reason beyond that. Some people do it because they are in a hurry and or don't want to spend the money on visuals or the proper amount of breeders. No reason what so ever period on a co-dom or dom snake to do it.

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.

Butter pastel is a good combo..lemon blast is another..both will give you quite a few options..pewter is another with out breaking the bank

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

Read the first page, then continue on to learning more about dominant and co-dominant stuff and so on and so forth

Hi,

I am not a fan of hybrids so I cant comment on the woma

I'm pretty sure he meant the woma ball python morph rather than a woma python.

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.

My lil brother is getting a lemon pastel he to wants a bee. So we can swap snakes to breed.

Sounds like a good plan, good luck!

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
