Help me with my next BP purchase! Best business / breeding strategy wanted.

I'd like to add something to my original advice. There are some really great breeders out there that will sell you adult females that are a good deal if you wanted that gene anyway. I'm just saying not to buy an adult female just because it is an adult female and your in a rush to make babies or money (btw there isn't much money in this, most hope to just break even). This time of the year breeders are clearing their racks to make room for 2015's. You can get a steal of a deal on nice looking early 2014 females and bypass a whole year of waiting. I just picked up a 2014 Super Pastel Axanthic female and a 2014 Pastel Calico Leopard het Pied female from Greg Graziani. They are both around 400grams and I will breed them in the fall of 2016.

Thanks so much for the advice everyone! You guys are wonderful!

Of course, right as I saved up a bit of money I ran into financial trouble. Ah well, I am picking up some side jobs to see if I can save up again.

I had a question, though - do you find that recessive combos keep their value longer? I was a bit shocked looking at the codoms available for sale at strikingly low prices compared to what I paid for mine 2 years ago. Do combos like axanthics / pieds keep their value longer? What about BELs?

Recessives definitely keep their value longer.

Recessives definitely keep their value longer.

Thanks so much. That's where I'll invest, then.
