    What Mophs to buy..for future breeding.

    Hi All,
    my first post her...My question is..
    Given the way the recession is...hopefully within another 2-3 years things will start to look a little better. So..if you had approx $12000 to spend on a new collection what would you get. I would want no more than 6 females and 2 males, even less.ie Would it be worth picking up semi adult females, lessers, Mojos pieds, etc and spending the majority on a expensive male, or.spending the $12000 on 20011 females (if so, which morph)and spending another large amount up to $7000 maybe in another 2 years. Looking forward to your replies.

    I was the same situation. And I asked the same question. People will just tell you go for those you like the most.

    I was planning to spend 5000 and I bought 4 morph 3 month ago. Now I trade all of those 4 for other morph already. It took me 3 month to figure out what I really want to get into.

    I really like sugar/calico. There is a super pastel lesser calico out there and asking for 12000. I spend 5k and bought a male super hot super pastel sugar from TSK. They told me their sugar has 2 genes, also the black back.

    Now I am looking for some adult pastel, pastel lesser enchi and champagne females to make some hot combos.

    By trading those 4 morph I spent 5k on, I lost some money, so just do more research before buying.

    I would spend a little time looking at different morphs, and decide from there. You can make so many cool combo morphs, but you have do some research on how to make them. I found a few morphs that I wanted to make for myself, and bought bp's that will allow me to make them.....Best of luck.

    Just remember the really expensive ones could take longer or be harder to sell. Like of your producing 5-10k snakes not many many people have that kind of dough to drop in a hatchling. Start moderate learn the business and you can grow from there.

    Well you could spend $500-3000 on a rack system depending on how much space you want. After that I would say start looking for some 2011 multi gene females. Hold off on the males because you'll need about two years to grow up the females which also might give the males your interested in time to drop in price. Then next year buy the best multi gene males and an incubator and a hatchling rack. The one year with just the females will give you time to work through getting feeding cleaning record keeping down.
