Another what to do thread....

Sure, it s about personnal taste but not only. people tends to think about what they want to shoot at without thinking of the other 7/8 of the clutch that they don t want to keep and which are often hard to place snakes.

i just give you my personnal experience. I have a 40 adults and 32 juv potential housing . currently 36 adults and 44 juv!!! Why? Because i got 60/70 juv this year, i was expecting smaller clutch and 2 less girls to go. Combine this with the low ends morph hard to sell babies of every clutches. I have now 8 babies in temporary housing plastic box. And totally : 12 juvs don t match with my currents projects. (I just bought 2 babies this year waiting for rooms to welcome 4 more. But before that i have to find loving home for those 12 babies. And this could have been worst. I was not prepared!

Giving you little more details : i had so many enchi pastel that all my clients already get one from me and 2 ugliest are still with me ( + i keep the best one and a super pastel enchi) , i also hatched so many OD combos and another breeder within 20 km also hatched many so i still have 2 stunning male combos that no one near needs. And of course the pet category snakes like single gene males always super hard to place against good care. Honestly, on those 12 snakes there are just 4 that i m asking money!! i m willing to offer the others but just no one is interested by them.

So yes breed your pastel to calico if you like it but remember ugly pastel calico, ugly pastel, ugly calico are hard to place. be ready for that. But a calider will always find home.
