Question

[ECechoHO]

In the snake world, does it matter if the two im trying to mate are siblings..??i know it's late but a week ago i separated them and started to lower temps at night to 70 degrees, before i put the male back in the female tank i plan to wash him a lil to remove any scent his sister remembers from him and hope they start making me money cuz times is hard..

I'am not trying to be rude, however if you only want to breed them to make money you may want to try something else. What type of morp bp's are they? There is a lot more to breeding them. As there are several things you need to research. Again I'am not trying to be rude or tell you you will fail. However if money is your only motivation it will not work. I've seen the pictures of your bp's they are nice normals. However their is not much of a market for them. If you were to breed them. Just do some research on the subject and you may see things differently.

I second the research. A pair of normals (even if they are hets) arent going to be making you money in the long run. Most people who breed have a goal to break even.

Also, PLEASE get them off the gravel

Hi,

70 is too low - try and keep it at 80f if you can as a minimum.

Breeding siblings is always slightly riskier than normal - if any genetic problems show up in the clutch then it shouldn't be repeated essentially.

I second this, you should NEVER breed any animal just for the money. That's not fair to the animals you stand to produce. There is so much more breeding, you'll need and incubator, incubation medium, food for the adults and the babies, a rack for the babies. There is a huge investment that goes in to breeding reptiles that you can't hope to make money your first time especially with normals.

ya'll dont know what im going thru, this been a project of mine for years, to see what kinda morph i could eventually START out with that a pair of NORMS could produce if any..MONEY is not the key factor in me wanting to breed them, WE all gotta start from somewhere this post was just a question....

Normals will produce normals.

As for money if you are lucky $10/$15 for the males $20/$25 for the females IF they even sell and by the time they do you'll have spent more in food, and care and it will basically be a loss so you might want to rethink your plan if

times is hard

If money isnt the key factor maybe getting their care corrected before you worry about breeding?

No need to dogpile on the guy.

Heck, I started breeding by accident then repeated it to see if I could do it correctly.

We live, we learn, we change our opinions, sometimes we even change our plans.

Tolerate and teach - try not to preach.

I did not mean to back you into a corner. It just appears that from your posting, you have not thought things thru. You are in the right place to learn. However you may not be ready to breed them at this time. After looking at your pictures I have noticed a few things. No I'am not trying to be harsh. I'am just trying to tell you some things that will help you. To be successful with your project in the future. First as some one mentioned earlier change your substrate. Gravel is not the best thing for your bp's. You can use cypress or newspaper or paper towels to name a few. Also your humidity is to low I say this because your snakes are shedding in pieces. As they should shed in one piece. You should cover a large part of your tanks top. As this will help hold in humidy. Finally how much does your female weigh?
