I have a heavy passion for the animals and am very anxious to get into breeding when my snakes are up to size. I also have every intention of treating this as a viable business, as i naturally have a knack and passion for business. I have a couple questions i was hoping somebody could offer a bit of advice. Any would be very much appreciated. My questions are is better to invest in males or females? i mean i now more females then males is necessary especially at first but is it better to put to put the returns i see back into males or females? I would assume i need to produce babies so females is a must but should i be looking for genetically higher males too? or should i be looking to hold back my genetically higher males i produce and keep moving up, i heard it it was better to breed higher males to lower females. Also i currently have a lesser male, two spider females and a normal female. Anybody think that would be a good start? Theyll be ready to breed next season and i am also going to try looking for a champagne sometime soon. Dont know if i should look for male or female. Thanks in advance for any help
    You have a pretty good start there. What you are going to want to do is going to depend on a few things. 1. What do you want to produce? 2. What your budget is. Generally people want the most cost effective way into the higher end stuff. That means buy a few normal or single gene females and a hell of a male to put to them.

    Done right 1 male can go to quite a few females. So spend your money on girls and then try and get a 4-5 Banger male to put to them. You will be producing all kinds of cool stuff. Then you can hold back more multi morph females. Just remember to produce things you don't mind keeping if they don't sell. Also, feeding a bunch of hatchling gets really expensive really fast.

    My advice to you is to sit down and write up a business plan and a breeding plan. Go into detail with the things you'd like to produce and how you can get to that point. Take it slow, a lot of new people jump in with both feet and soon are drowning trying to unload their collection at half what they paid...
