I asked a similar thing in a longer format but didn't get much traction. I'm looking to understand how people plan their own long term breeding projects comparative to what I am doing.
I am currently a Hobbyist myself and have one clutch about to pip and a second to be laid. I have a couple other paired females that may go late.
Personally, I love gene stacking. I think that there are some serious combo potentials that haven't been explored. There are also a few genes out there that very few are working into their projects that I think would actually enhance the ideal end state.
I've found that I buy snakes for these reasons:
1) I am adding a gene and is has a combination package that would allow me to produce a short cut to my own goals without having to produce the combo myself.
2) I am adding a gene and the gene is new or uncommon enough that I will not likely find the right combo and will need to work it that way myself.
In the last 6 months I've added a few animals. And the reason I bought them.
Huffman Orange Ghost - #1
VPI Axanthic Ghost - #1
Highway het Hypo - #1
Super Black Head - #2
I'm wishing now that I had a few more homozygous Orange Ghost girls in my collection, but I am currently heavily skewed towards females.
My 2c
