The Advantage to Having a Male Maker?

[nightwolfsnow]

The axanthic CG that I'm getting is a male maker. Pretty much all the CG's are going to be male, which kind of sucks. But on the other end, pretty much anything not CG will be female. So I can breed nice three gene combo females to him, and get a bunch of nice het. axanthic females to breed with him and my other axanthic male. I've noticed that even single gene females het. axanthic are around $3-500. I can instead spend that on a three gene combo. Sure I have to wait a few more years to breed the hatched females, but I think it will give me better quality animals to work with in the long run. Bananas are a popular morph and I don't think I'll have much trouble selling the males that I don't want to keep.

I kind of like the banana sex link. It's weird, but it makes your breeding plans a bit more predictable to know what sex the snake who's morphs you're looking for will pop out as before hand.

Yeah exactly.

They are gold mixed with recessives. Bred my banana bumblebee male to a pied female, got three banana morph males that are 100% het pied. One year closer to banana pieds now.

That's my plan too, only I'm going to pair a banana het pied boy to an enchi pied.

Sounds like you guys are going to make some of those awesome banana pieds! I've been considering incorporating pied later on. If I see a good deal on a visual female I will probably snatch it up. That would give me the lightning pieds also. The bananas and lightnings are actually the only pieds I really like enough to spend the money on a pied.

Less rack space needed.
