Thanks so much for the links, very helpful!Originally Posted by Jt balls
This makes a lot of sense, and I feel a little silly that I didn't think of this. My mindset was "more bang for my buck", but it seems in the long run I would be on the path to wasting money in that case. Excellent advice, thank you!If I were you I wouldn't buy a male right now at all. Instead I'd use that money to get a better female. Maybe something with two genes. It is going to take that female two or three years to get to breeding weight. As long as you don't power feed. Which I don't recommend at all. A male is ready to breed in a year or so, so you would be feeding him for that extra year or two while you wait for a female to be ready. That's just a waste of funds in my opinion.
Definitely excellent advice, and I'm fairly certain this is the path I'm going to take now. Thank you!i suggest getting two females now, and a two-gene male one year later. that is assuming you buy hatchlings, and raise them up.
I definitely don't, now that you've all brought it to my attention! I knew I wanted to get two snakes for sure, and my thought was a male/female pair would be the best bet. I'm so glad I asked for advice because it's obvious now that's not the case! Thank you!Why do you need the pair now?
I am getting hatchlings. I'll be going the route of two-one gene females now given the advice I've received. Clearly now the overall obvious choiceAre you buying hatchlings or full grown breeders?
(Edited the genes on the females)
