Dreamsicle mission

[loonunit]

I did buy a pair of 100% het lavender albinos. And the comment about "raising up an army of possible hets" is no joke: I've gotten a bit unlucky, and hatched 4.4 66% possible hets and only 1.0 visual lavender albino. The males are basically only good as pet snakes, so I sell them to friends for $30. The females are theoretically worth something, but so far only one has sold. I might have to use their visual brother to prove them out, so I can sell them as either 100% hets or true normals.

On the bright side, the visual lavender albino has turned out to be a total studmuffin, and he really digs the low-white pied female I put him with this year.

The best way to go at this breeding on a budget is...

A 100% DH Lav Albino Pied male...Breed him to a couple Normals...Keep all the females and breed the DH male back to them...You could prove some females to bet Het Lavs, some to be Het Pieds and some that are Het for Both! Of course some could be Normals too...

Thnx for the advice. Im very much wanting to do this, I just cant find any place to purchase a het that is a reasonable price with a reputable dealer or someone who wont hamstring me....

Check out Justin Kobylka Reptiles.

Double het males are still pretty expensive. But Kobylka is totally reputable, and he has hatched his own dreamsicles. So if he says he's got a guaranteed double het for dreamsicle, he's not scamming you.

I did find an ad on kingsnake for a double-het dreamsicle male for $500. That's not THAT much more than you'd be paying for het pied female + a het lavender male... I just don't know the breeder, and can't tell you if he's the real deal or not.

This is what I'm currently doing. Putting my DBL Het for DS male to normal girls and holding back all females. I will prolly pick up a couple het pieds, het lavs, or visuals of the 2 this year to continue to speed things up. Or may just take my time and play the odds game I'm in no hurry

I just wanna take my time with it. Theres alot of learning to do and time to get all the results im looking for.

That being said, thats why im specifically looking for a het of each trait seperately. I want to be able to mix any outcome later on with my base hets i am attempting to acquire.

Pardon me for saying, but your logic doesn't make any sense to me. Why wouldn't you want a parent to DEFINITELY carry both genes (I.e. double het male and then maybe a female het of each gene)? Doing it your way, you'd be breeding only possible hets on both sides when you go for dreamcicles with the offspring.

Because eventually if i get one or the other i can breed with norms and proof them out. I dont have alot of money for the time being. Im starting with two 100% het pied. M/F group.

After this i can get my vis by mating several times. Do the same with 2 100% het lav alb. Get a vis breed with pie vis. mate male from clutch with all females from clutch get my prize.

Even with 1 of each het i can still breed with the norms i have to eventually get desired results...

I wanna do my first one the long way. Logically not sound from a direct POV but i want the time with the breeding process for other reasons.
