Next breeding project?

I've been going crazy looking at all the different possibilities.... I definently want to stick with colubrids for a while until I move on to BP's... What would you other colubrid lovers suggest? Btw this forum is one of the friendliest communities I have ever had the privilege of being a part of!

Breed what you love not what we suggest...

Yeah those are Corns.

The Amel is the female and the Bloodred Motley is the male

Just out of curiosity, what compels you to want to breed snakes anyhow?

Kingsnakechris · 04-10-12, 04:48 PM

Well first off I LOVE snakes. Secondly it's a great an interesting hobby. Thirdly I'm a firm believer that the more options people have in regards to purchasing a captive bred snake it will decrease the number of people collecting countless wild caught snakes. I'm not saying everyone who wants to go catch from the wild won't, but if even one person gets a CBB snake that's one less person stressing the wild snake populations, I plan on selling them at affordable prices so it takes the argument that "it's to expensive" out of the equation. That and I really want to experiment around with morphs. It's been my dream to come up with different morphs ever since I got into reptiles.

No problem. Lol I figured as long as I'm not just doing it for the money like a lot of people do (and fail miserably) I shouldn't be worried about answering lol!
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...
