Re: starting to get into breeded, good morphs?

How many generations of breeding will it take to get you what you want? Are you going to sell all of the babies, or are you going to get a snake that eats other snakes, to eat the ones you don't want? Are you going to breed siblings and parents together when you find a color or pattern you like, or are you going to breed snakes from different lines that you already have?
How long will it take to get the pairs you want to breed, up to breeding status? Are you going to breed males young? Are you going to power feed the females or wait until they weigh 1200grams or more...or are 3 years old?
Do you have the housing for all the babies? Incubators? Food for their first meals and for the parents?

After spending all the money on snakes, equipment and food, how long will it take you, and how many parings, before you make back your money plus profit?

Are you going to breed siblings and parents together when you find a color or pattern you like, or are you going to breed snakes from different lines that you already have? going to breed siblings/parents if needed to achieve my albino pied, since i have 2 hets to breed together, im sure it will take a while!!!
How long will it take to get the pairs you want to breed, up to breeding status? however long it takes to get up to wieght.. time is not a factor
Are you going to breed males young? no
Are you going to power feed the females or wait until they weigh 1200grams or more...or are 3 years old? probably 1500 grams, no powerfeed
Do you have the housing for all the babies? Incubators? Food for their first meals and for the parents?

After spending all the money on snakes, equipment and food, how long will it take you, and how many parings, before you make back your money plus profit? i have room for all the babies, i rhave a rack that can hold... 28 small tubs, and ill be getting another one too. so plenty of room not sure on how many pairing it will take, it will be an adventure, and food isnt a problem, i buy frozen in bulk, if they need live, i will have to start a colony.
great questions!! i will also get an incubator.. and again please guys, im very new to breeding, im still learning and reading about it, so if i say something stupid about pairings please dont hate
