    Wink Looking back, what would be the first female's you would purchase to breed?

    Hey guys,

    A friend and I have decided to start breeding as a hobby. I've been doing my research and have an idea what girls I wanna pick up, but would like to hear different opinions on good places to start.

    Thanks!

    It depends on how old you are and what your interests are. I'd suggest bars, school, work, the gym - all good places to start picking up girls for your breeding hobby.

    Im with Eric... dont forget church. WalMart if you like to live dangerous.

    I put together a master list of what 3 2-gene males would make with 8 or 9 females. I did the "math" on optimum output and chose WHAT I LIKE THE MOST. I dont care about the market or sales.

    Re: Looking back, what would be the first female's you would purchase to breed?

    I think I've done pretty well with my first females. My very first female is my leopard girl. Only "regret" I have is my first BP wasn't a female. I never thought I'd have more than one so I went with a male so he'd stay smaller.

    Anyways I choose my girls off of the morphs I want to make. Then I but 2-3 gene males to pair them with. I'm expecting three pairings/clutches next year and none of them have the potential for normals.

    since you're asking in terms of breeding as a hobby, i suggest get few or even just one of the best you can afford instead of more number of lower quality females for the same amount of money. breeding one or few great clutches is more satisfying than producing a ton of average snakes. and breeding just a few carefully selected snakes gives a better chance of producing more keepers, thus sparing the hobbyist from having to sell off too many unwanted hatchlings.

    i would go for:

    super mojave, super mojave, super enchi, super enchi, super fire, ivory, and super mojave.

    in no particular order. there is beauty in keeping things simple and predictable.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    Not a bad list. I think visual recessive females are also a good choice. You can pair them with any codom or dom gene you might like to combine with the recessive, hold back a male, and be producing the visual combo a year later.

    20 normals and a male with the most genes I could afford.

    I love BEL. That's probably where I should start since it combines a strong gene and a snake I love.
