    Question Unsure of what to cross and get next.

    At this moment i have 4 females and 1 male. I have a female pastel,spider,normal, and albino spider. The male is a vpi axanthic. The male is about 1800 grams and the females are all around 150. i got a good deal on the male. i recently built a rack system that houses 6 hatchlings and 3 adults. so i have room for 2 adults and 3 more hatchlings. So what genes do you guys think i should mix in? and what are some good ideas for the snakes i have now? I plan on getting the male with the albino spider to get some het snows. But what else? Im only 15 and am open to all the help i can get. Im kinda doing this stuff on my own.

    I was at a show and saw some gorgeous mojaves, black pastels, cinnamons, and ended up grabbing a lesser. All beautiful morphs for a great price up here.

    If your females are only 150 grams you have a long time to be able to do anything with them. I'd say pick up another female with two genes if possible or even something het axanthic and save everything you can this year and buy a 3+ gene male down the line. I'd say look at axanthic combos you like and look for a female that can work with that (fire goes really well with axanthic).

    Hey it's nice to see a fellow teen ball breeder on here. I'm also 15, and at the moment if I were in your position I would find at least a het. Vpi axanthic for your boy, and maybe find a male that has 2-3 co Dom or dominant genes. That's what I would go for anyways

    Re: Unsure of what to cross and get next.

    So I went to the show yesterday and I picked up 2 normal females they look like they weigh around 1000 grams. Got a male lesser around 400g and a male cinny around 150g. All for $110! What are your guys thoughts now? My friend also picked up a proven desert and we plan on working together so 10 balls all together.

    Sad and at that rate with even more mass producing of low end animals by the time you will be able to breed and sell yours you will almost have to give them away for free.
