if you buy a female het pied hatchling now, and a male visual pied 1 year later, that would be cheaper compared to getting a female pied now. even getting two female het pieds, and one year later a male pied, would probarbly still be cheaper.


males are cheaper than females, because you can breed one male to several females. but because one male contributes to more clutches than any of the females, you should make sure that this one male is genetically more powerful and more advanced than any of the females. otherwise you end up paying more than you have to pay, for exactly the same results. female breeders are the expensive part of the equation, they make the eggs, the job of the male is to make sure that the content of these eggs is as nice as possible and that the females are properly utilized.

i hate to break your plans, but: the male is quite useless. you would not want to breed a male het pied to a female pied unless the male het pied has some nice extra genes that you want to bring into visual pieds. and if you dont want to make use of the male being het pied, generally you dont want to breed a male normal to any morph. even breeding a male het pied to a female het pied is questionable, you could use a male visual pied or a male het pied with extra genes.

that is all under the assumption that he actually is het pied. he is a possible het pied.

Aaaand.... its a pet i hope you still love him and that finding out that he isnt breeding material does not change how you view your pet python. and that he will continue to be a great pet for you
