What morphs should I start with the first time I breed

[Sama]

Bumblebees are awesome and a good start. We hoped to hatch some this year but our pastel passed. Something to consider is the nicer base morphs you get the better babies you will hatch. If you buy a brown pastel you are more likely to get brown babies. Take some time to really look into the morphs you like and decided what you like in that morph. Then go for your ideal and don't settle for a cheaper example.

Also just to throw it out there, maybe look at a spider female and a super pastel male? Or vice versa. With one being a super pastel you would be looking at 50% pastels, 50% bees as opposed to a pastel and a spider hatching 25% normals, 25% pastels, 25% spiders and 25% bees. Just a thought!

Ok and I've owned a ball for 2 years now and I know a lot about how the breeding works and overall care but I'm not sure if I have enough experience to breed, I'm just not sure about this I'm not in this for the money at all

No one gets experience until they actually do it... I have not bred any snakes yet... but I bred German Shepherd Dogs, due to life circumstances I don't any longer, but I had a "mentor" when I first started..she was a well established breeder of AKC show dogs..
I imagine there are many reputable breeders of these fine snakes that would take newcomers under their wing.

The ones in it for the money worry about new competition... the ones who love the animals realize without the new breeders the breeding of quality animals would cease.

Just my thoughts

That's a very nice pick, and like others have stated bumblebee's are a great first double gene morph. I have a male and he's gorgeous.

Yes bumblebees are amazing but I just adore what the baby's look like when you breed two bumblebees and get a killer bee they are just amazing

HEy if you guys have any projects you want me to look at post them ill take anything.

The great thing about ball pythons in the variety. Go to world of ball pythons and see what you like the best. Then look at what genes it takes to produce it. Then if you can afford the snakes that have those genes you will know what to buy and breed.

Just so you know, that specific spider super mojave isn't what they always look like. I have a male super mojave that I didn't even know was a spider as well until he popped out a mojave spider baby last year. The snake looks just like a super mojave. No different head pattern in the grey head, nothing visible under black light. Just something to consider.

I agree with the others, breed the morphs you like. I'm going to be working with pastel, spider, and fire because they are affordable and I like all of their combos, especially wanting to produce a fire bee.

But albino, pied, enchi, and yellowbelly are also very popular base morphs that won't cost you thousands to obtain.
