Best morphs

[zina10]

If you want to keep it low price for now, but produce real beauties. I would look into buying a Pastel Lesser or Pastel Butter (really kind of the same). Or a Super Pastel Lesser or Super Pastel Butter.

They create such beautiful little snakes with great color and pattern and they stay beautiful when they grow up.

Please remember though, if you do this right, you WILL spend MORE money on items you need to buy/build, than you will make on selling hatchlings. Esp. the first year. Hatchlings also take quite the bit of time, work and effort.

If you go cheap in husbandry and enclosures, this will not turn out that great.

First of all, buy quality and healthy animals to breed with. House them correctly, with 100% correct husbandry. There are lots of threads on what to do (heat, humidity, thermostats, etc etc). Do your research about breeding.

Before you breed, you need to have a incubator ready. One that will keep the correct heat (regulated with a thermostat). Have egg boxes ready and all the "stuff" that goes with it (substrate, screen, thermometers, etc)

Have a hatchling rack ready. Again, regulated by a thermostat.

Have a source for food. Hatchlings can be tricky to get eating. Often they want to start on live food, usually mouse hoppers. When they refuse to eat, you will have to try again days later. That means some wasted food items.

Think about how and to who you want to sell. There isn't a market just anywhere, and if you breed lower priced animals, you can't ask premium prices either.


My advice, don't look at it as a profit making endeavor. Look at it as fun. As a hobby. One that might COST money, rather then make it. Breed the animals you enjoy, the ones you like. The ones you like to look at. Don't just go by what sells or makes money.

Here are a few hatchlings that came out of my Pastel Lesser female, a picture of her as well so you see an adult. You could also get Pastels and Super Pastels out of a breeding like that, which are also nice little animals
