What will happen if I....

The male I mentioned earlier was 1500+g going into that 4th winter. He was definitely "breeding size" the two prior years, he just didn't wanna do it

You know how I feel about you Deb!!! Also I wouldn't sell you a normal for $1,000 if you begged me. So take your smart*** comments some place else.

Do you always get so nasty with every person that comes along looking to get some help? Oh that's right, duh you DO...

You might not "get it." That's fine.

But whether you come for help or not, you do need to show by your questions that you have put in SOME work. You seem to be still asking the basic questions of someone that hasn't even done ANY research before deciding to breed... And many of us do pay attention to the types of questions asked by beginning "breeders."

"Know how you feel about me." No, as a matter of fact, I DON'T know how you feel about me. I don't normally get emotionally involved in my advice attempts. I do know that you aren't all that ethical, but other than that, I haven't paid that much attention to you until you come across my radar. You are free to ignore any advice I give.

ok ladies retract the claws, she came looking for advice if you have nothing good to say to her it would have been best to ignore the post. And yes there are males that will breed at 600 grams more often than not they are closer to the 800 gram mark when they start producing plugs the female sounds plenty big enough give him a few months and get him eating good before you attempt any breeding with him it is still early in the season my females are still taking meals I would say try putting them together in december if he has started to eat if not wait until next season. don't be discouraged with the site there are a lot of good people on here willing to give good advice and opinions, some you will agree with and some you will not. best advice i can give you is read and talk to as many people in the industry as you can ask lots of questions thats how you learn. Good luck and happy herping.

I do not know who you are, but the best breeders *IMO* look up information and research. The information she is asking for could have been found by a 5 year old with a little bit of Googling. Perhaps you think coming and asking a simplistic question is "research." I do not agree. I am simply pointing out that if you want to be a breeder, any type of breeder worth your salt, you have to put in the work.

P.S. There is no reason to be "discouraged with the site" I am not FAUNA. There will be plenty of people that can answer her question. I answered it MY way.

Thank you very much Craig, I appreciate it...

This will be the last question I ever ask on this site and someone should let Rich know that this site is for buying and selling only, not for coming for help or asking questions.
Oh and it's just for the "best breeders" the "pros" not for people who want to learn not for new people to get help!

I will be moving on like about 20 other good people who have left here recently, as for the 10 or so good people still here, you know where to find me.
As for the friends who have been asking where I've been and why I left well now you know, it's because of issues like this.

Good luck on counting to 1 mill guys, and take care!

All this from a simple question!!

Have to talk to big bad miss Deb about that one, guess I'm not pro enough or one of those best breeders, she had to get rather nasty and rude instead of answering the question or could have kept her crappy comment to herself. I don't remember asking her to buy a snake from me but yeah ya know..

I kinda thought it was simple question too, in fact I do believe I've seen it asked about 30 other times on this Forum.. Have a look, wonder if she had the same rude comment on their "same" question?!

i think people just get tired of asnwering the same stuff over and over.

if the same question was asked 30 times before you would think that you should know the answer lol...

It's early in the season, I just started putting my males in with my girls yesterday. Some of them aren't interested in breeding yet, but are previously proven. Keep trying and he may get it later.

Have you thought about putting both the het and pastel on the girl? If I'm thinking clearly, you'd get possible hets either way. And if that het male gets her, you may get an albino or two out of it. If he doesn't do the deed, you should get a pastel or two possible hets. Maybe you'd babies sired from both daddies!

If this is the girl from my place, we know she is proven 100% het, so there isn't any worry of trying to prove her out by limiting her suitors.

Thanks Melinda, I'll try that!

Joe I was talking about people asking the question "what will I get if I breed this pair or this one with that one" not my same question lol.
