What to pair for future breeding

[boaboa]

Hello, im new to ball python breeding and looking for some advice. I currently have a female blue eyed lucy (moj/less) and a male pastel leopard spotnose yellowbelly multi gene Bp. What would you pair to a bel and what would you pair to my male. I was thinking of pairing a bamboo to the bel to keep it in the bel complex and maybe get some more bel's. And to my male I was thinking about getting a female super gravel to get gravel with his genes mixed in. Any advice or thoughts? would be appreciated.

I don't breed BPs but others here may have some suggestions.

Meanwhile, & in case you're unaware, MorphMarket has a genetic calculator you can use- https://www.morphmarket.com/c/reptil...ic-calculator/

You can breed any ball python to any other ball python of the opposite sex. Choice of mate depends on what you want the babies to look like.

I would breed the female mojave/lesser to another snake with one or more mutant genes in the blue-eyed leucistic complex. Bamboo is one. I am not aware of problems with super mojave, so mojave is another possible choice. I'd avoid a lesser as super lessers have a reputation for being duckbilled.

The gravel gene is in the same complex as the yellow belly gene. Super gravel x yellow belly is expected to produce 50% gravel and 50% gravel/yellow belly (aka highway). As for the other mutants in the male, some will appear in the babies, but probably not all in one baby.

Good luck.
