I know this thread has probably been started a zillion times, but I have some questions about starting up a breeding program.

I've been thinking about this for a while and I've decided to start off with morphs rather than normals. For females I'm thinking a Hypo, Mojave, Fire and Pastel (het Hypo) and for males Pinstripe (het Hypo) or Lesser (het Hypo), and a Fire Spider or Bumblebee.

I am considering building my own racks, and because I'm short I want to build them longer than taller . I've guessed about $1000 startup for the racks and supplies and probably another $1000-$1500 for the snakes, I'll just get the females at first.

Am I starting too big? Should I scale down to 1.2 at first and then add a second group the next year or so?

Also I assume snakes don't take to inbreeding as well as rats and mice do? Would it be best to buy from a couple different breeders?

Any other tips or things I've over looked, especially price wise would be great. Advice is always welcome.
