Your type of questions are what kill peoples budding passion. I guess you've never been talking with a friend and said "ya know I'm not sure what i'm going to pair up with her yet"

    Edit:
    I know I'm being pissy here, but dude, I asked a simple question. This should have been a fun thread with people throwing out hypothetical "I'd add this" suggestions.
    Wow, talk about turning a simple question into an issue.

    Nope, you don't need a direction because I said so. But you SHOULD have a direction since these are living animals and not Pokemon collectables that you collect while it's fun then throw in a closet.

    And now you're contradicting yourself, first saying you don't have a direction, now saying you do....

    I'm sorry you find my question to be condescending, but a mature adult would have understood that it's actually a FANTASTIC question.

    If you allow one little question to derail your "budding passion" that's on you.

    Red flags of what exactly?

    I didin't say profitability, I said marketability. Not considering marketability is irresponsible breeding

    So your telling me that if your talking with your friend and you tell them " yeah I've got these 3 nice females and two males and I want to add a couple more females, but there are so many combinations, I just can't decide, what do you think".......... your friend should call the aspca, because you have no direction and are overwhelmed with all the options

    I'm sure all of you do homes visits before you sell hatchlings to anyone, to make sure everything is perfect

    *On a side note: Are we all supposed to be working right now, but really just online talking snakes?
    Now you're just being ridiculous. Nobody said anything about calling ASPCA, nobody said anything about home visits.

    And here's the best part....you still haven't answered my question, WHY do you want to breed. If you can't answer that question, you shouldn't be breeding.

    And as jmcrook mentioned, the BP market is ridiculously over saturated. There are over 15,500 ball pythons for sale just on morohmarket right now, that's just one sales platform. As a breeder with no reputation it may be extremely difficult to sell your animals. Are you prepared to keep all 6 or 8 babies?
    Are you prepared to cull babies with birth defects? Are you qualified to determine if a defect is life threatening?

    All things to think about....and then maybe you'll be able to answer a simple question....
