    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Can you give me some tips?

Hello everyone, my name is Anthony. I will be buying some ball pythons soon, with plans on breeding. I was thinking of buying a female spinner, and a male super pastel, both adults or sub adults, so I can breed sooner. But I noticed that this made prices go waaay higher! I really didnt think it would be that much of a difference. Whats the lowest you think i can spend on a female spinner, sub-adult?

Should I start like that? Or should I just buy a female spinner and another female and wait? Even though 2-3 years seems so long -_-.

My budget for the snakes is 1000$

Suggestions and advice welcome! thank you :)

I will go ahead and hope that you already have housing, substrate, water bowls and food for your project. Also "you get what you pay for" is the absolute truth when it comes to ball pythons so keep that in mind. A low quality snake will on most cases produce low quality offspring and not command a high price. Thus is not the place to get rich quick so I would suggest picking up females and raising them to gain more experience in the hobby. That also makes it that much sweeter when it pays off.
 
Assuming you are all set up for the snakes- Since you're talking co-doms, why not get a nice BIG normal or Pastel adult girl? Get the BEST Spinner boy you can find & raise him up in 12-18 months & produce? You'll still get a nice clutch & experience. AND it gives you time to find some buyers...
 
Thats a good idea Northern Regius. Yes i have a 10 tub rack system, substrate, water bowls, and food :) I also heard that if i get 2 baby females I can get more male for my buck later. What do you guys think?
 
Get two solid females, raise them up a year then get a nice male that way they are all ready to breed around the same time
