I don't think he's old enough to be bred yet, but I think in the future, my best friend and I would like to breed my Ramses to her....well she doesn't have one yet. Anyway, we're hoping that selling the offspring will help make college a little more bearable. I'd rather spend time taking care of lil snake babies than party. XD
Bear in mind that going into breeding EXPECTING to make a profit is a hard way to do it, you have to spend money to earn money, and these are animals that take time to grow before breeding, cost money as far as upkeep, and sometimes clutches fail or females don't breed or god knows what. Going into it with the expectation of breaking even in five years is ambitious IMO.

Look at me...by the end of this year I'll have spent over $1,000 on snakes, a few hundred on feeders and tubs and substrate and water dishes and electricity...and I don't have a single clutch yet. I'm 100% loss at this point.

That's okay though, because I plan to breed not for profit (though breaking even would be awesome), I know of morphs I want that I can breed for as a hobby. Any superfluous snakes can be sold, if they sell...which is another issue. I know of a lot of breeders who sometimes can't seem to sell a perfectly awesome snake to save their lives!

So my advice, as a hobbyist, is to put the brakes on and rethink why you want to breed. Is it for the love of the snakes? Is it to create morphs to treasure and enjoy? Is it for profit?

So I'm sure that breeding these guys is more lucrative than expensive,
See my little math calculation above. I'm gonna be close to $1,700 in the hole by 2011, with a chance at MAYBE one, two clutches of single-morph co-dom eggs...IF I manage to get even that!!! For me, it's definitely WAY more expensive than lucrative!!!!

or else you guys wouldn't do it
I recently opted to invest in a Mojave female for my Mojave male. The hope is that within a few years, I'll get a clutch from them that might, if I'm lucky, have a Super Mojave. But I'm gonna be out a lot of money before that happens.

I do think the only way to profit is to breed combo morphs.

My question is, is it better to get a normal female, breed them and sell the offspring for $35 each until we've got enough, and then buy a cheap morph like a pastel? Or would it be better to just jump straight to the morphs? I've been doing some browsing and finding a female pastel under $150 (the most my friend wants to spend on the snake alone) is extremely difficult.

Thoughts?
Buy a morph. I'd go for something that combos nicely, like a Mojave...Pastel...Spider...something like that. Then double it up.

And consider yourself lucky to break even until you get some killer, stellar looking snakes.

But again, what do I know? I've never yet hatched a clutch (which for me will be about another $200 to $500 investment, for the incubator and all the other necessities!) and am right now in the process of buying morphs (I'm rather proud of my little collection!), raising them up, and basically bleeding money through the nose with no return. And I couldn't be happier.
