I want to start off by saying that advertising is not allowed on this forum and your post sounds like you already want to have buyers lined up. Not only that, but you're asking people to basically buy your babies now when they don't even exist. Even if you START breeding now, it could be this time next year (or even later) until you actually get babies. That's a long time to wait for babies. What if the female doesn't take? What if the eggs die? There are a lot of "ifs" in this scenario. You should only offer babies for sale that are eating and ready to go.Originally Posted by Dawson101409
As for if people will buy them, that depends. Let's start with the bumblebee clutch. You'll have an easier time selling these if they are FEMALE. Male pastel and spiders aren't worth much and you'll probably sit on them for a couple of months or more until the right buyer comes along. How well the pastels and bumblebees sell will depend on the quality of pastel in them. If they are really brown and dirty, then they won't sell very easily. It's all about quality. If you don't have the quality, then people won't be as excited to buy your animals.
Now, for the albino clutch. You may be able to sell the leftover albinos. If they are high contrast, it'll be easier to sell them. For the possible hets, you'll have to sell them as normals and you better pray you don't have many PH males.
Being a new breeder (which it sounds like you are), it'll add an additional factor to if you can sell your babies. People are getting smart about buying and want to buy from someone who's well known and trusted in the hobby. That doesn't necessarily mean the big names, but it means people who post frequently on facebook, the forums, etc. If you just show up one day selling babies, you'll be less likely to sell them than if you had taken the time to get known in the community.
I hope that made some sense and gave you a little bit of information you need to make an informed decision.
