    What to breed to a normal female?

    Hey, everyone this is my first post here. I have been keeping boas for a while and just recently got into ball pythons. I just purchased an adult normal female to start my breeding off. I just wanted some ideas from everyone about what they would breed to a normal (other than another normal), and what would you get out of that clutch? I have thought about breeding a calico to her. Let me know what you think.

    Thanks a lot!

    Re: What to breed to a normal female?

    Co-Dom morphs are best to breed with normals, since the results would be 50/50. Pastels, Spiders, Pinstripes... any co-dom would be a good pairing. And males are cheaper than females.

    Breed her to what ever morph you like best. If she were mine and was light in color with some nice blushing. I would pair her with a pastel or a mojo and if she's dark maybe a cinny or a black pastel Co-doms. Spiders and pinstripes are Doms but they will work as well.

    Oops... right. I'm still learning which are Dom, Co-Dom, and Recessive. There's a long list to memorize.

    Definitely I would go with a male. Yep, hands down. A male.

    I kid. Argentra is on top of it, I just could not resist.
