    Re: What to Start Project With

    I don't mean to come off as an a$$ (although I probably will) but I wouldn't buy either animal until you have a distinct plan of specific (or vaguely specific) morphs you want to create. If the blizzard is your ultimate goal then go for it. I havent been around for long enough to tell you from first hand experience but from what I've heard people who get into breeding without a plan lose interest waiting for the animal to grow up. Having a goal in mind can help motivate you. If you don't care about the girl becoming an expensive pet then you don't need to wait but if that bothers you I'd reconsider my purchase until I have clear goals in mind.

    Another thing you might want to consider is what combos you like will actually sell. I know you said you don't want this to become a business and you're only doing this because you love caring for the animals but how many can you take care of? You need to be (at least somewhat) aware of the market because otherwise you might end up keeping some/all of the babies.
    you are right that I need a plan and I do in fact have one.

    Plan for the blizzard:
    Black Pastel Project:Black Pastel het Albino male
    Blizzard female
    Banana Pastave female
    GHI Mohave female
    Orange Dream Spider Yellowbelly female
    those are all to be bred in a black Pastel project

    sterlingbee plan:
    Sterlingbee Genetic Stripe male
    Cinnamon female
    Stingerbee female
    Killer Hornet female

    i am looking at this as a way to pay for the snakes in the collection I am building up. In looking at what I am planning I have taken into account what possible outcomes I can get and what they do sell for in the market. This is my first project in a while as I did a little breeding before college but am now rebooting my collection. I will eventually be going for panda pied later down the road and highway Pastel to keep. Maybe someday sunset if the price drops low enough. In general there are only a handful of morphs that I would keep. I don't plan on having my collection of breeders at higher than 50 at any point. So yes, it will run into a small buisiness, a second job as you will. I am just taking it slow to start up. I am wanting to get super black pastels. I could get a black Pastel female to breed to the male and get the albino butter Enchi to get those nice results with the blizzard as well, a little more expensive, but 5 years down the road would pay huge dividends both in good looking animals to keep and in diversity of animals I would sell
