It never ceases to amaze me how awesome this place is. I've been here less than a month and I can already recognize some people's posts without seeing their username. It has a very informal and friendly feel.

Those who go out and think there going to get a pair of snakes and breed them just for the money usually don't read or even try to learn about what their getting into and end up giving up and the snakes are the ones that pay for it...

I agree I'm doing so much research bout breeding for next year season

Amen to that!!

I had 2 corn snakes dropped off at my house for just that reason!! Some lady had a male and went and got a female to breed to her male. when the female slugged out, she dropped both of them off together, in the same tank, at one of my customers house. He doesn't do colubrids, so brought them to me.

There was no way the female was big/old enough to be bred, at least she survived it and is doing well now.

As for my vote on which colubrid you should breed, I vote kings or corns!!

Yeah, it's crazy how many people just assume it's as simple as getting a male and female together and wala you have eggs. Those are the people I'm glad don't succeed as finding homes for the babies is just as tough as breeding itself... Ok I'm deciding between milks and corns, I already have a king pair, just waiting for my female to get a little bigger..

Snakefood · 04-11-12, 09:28 AM

what kind of kings do you have??

And remember one male can "service" more than one female, so you can get another king female.

I have California kings. Both male and female are 50% het. Albino. I'm just waiting till next season to breed them because my female is a bit to small right now. I'd rather wait till it's safer for her..she's a black and white banded and my male (who is HUGE) is a yellow and black banded.. I was thinking about getting another female but I want to expand my breeder collection, leaning twords milks but may very well go with corns. Are corn morphs really expensive?

Some are go here Corn Snake Morphs - The Definitive Guide - Ians Vivarium They got every pic of every morph and a corn calc and most morphs are that expensive but some arnt

Nice thanks man.

Snakefood · 04-11-12, 09:40 AM

depends which one you want!! corns range from $40-$4,000!!

Do you know what morphs (corn wise) you would be interested in creating??

I love this website to veiw Corn morphs
Corn Snake Morphs - The Definitive Guide - Ians Vivarium

and then I use the corn calculator to see how to make them, and just to play around to see what morphs I need to find for my projects.
