Selection?

[Chris Steele]

Hey, I am wanting to keep some BPs to breed. I want to know what the best things to look for in a breeder are? Pattern-wise, stripe, ect.

This is a Multiple Choice Poll!!!

patience!!!!!

[Chris Steele]

you mean like being calm or what?

None of the above. A good eater, and a great disposition.

Good eater, good temper, cleanliness, not only in the cages, but in the breeders home (if that is where they are) as well. The breeder to be nice, and watch if the breeder handles the snakes gently.

All over what you listed above is a matter of personal perference and all appearances can make equally nice babies, again it all depends... different strokes for different folks ;) All except for the pinkish belly... pink bellies can be indicative of an oncoming shed or skin condition. Like Mykee said, the most important things are that he is an all around healthy snake. I personally don't look for pattern or colour but rather for size, but thats just my preference... I like big balls :D
