Re: Normal x Normal breeding

Honestly, I don't even think you should a lot of experimenting unless you're pretty familiar with the incubation process and have a really good idea of what needs to be tweaked to make for a more successful incubation period. But a lot of the most common methods of incubation are pretty tried and true so there's a reason why they're used by so many, because they work!
Anyway personally don't see the point in a normalxnormal breeding because like Pythonfriend said, there's a lot of market competition in that department and chances are, with many morphxmorph pairings you'll be getting some normals anyway. But I also am a bit concerned with the premise of such a pairing because are you breeding because you can or because you should? I think there's a lot of people in the hobby who breed their snakes just because they happen to have these snakes and in the end that usually only accomplishes in flooding the market, it's kind of purposeless. Honestly, I really only think that people should be breeding their animals if said animals are of the highest quality and are going to be actively improving the genepool, both in health and appearance.
