    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....

First time post here on faunaclassifieds, was directed to this site by a friend and now I spend hours browsing forums and classifieds (lots of great info). I currently have two ball pythons. One is a male albino and the other is a female albino pastel. I've had snakes in the past but now I want to try and breed ball pythons. I'm going to the next Hamburg, PA reptile show and plan on picking up a couple more ball python morphs...just not sure which one's yet? What do you reccomend that isn't outragously expensive yet will get some interesting hatchlings? Budget would be 500-600 dollar range each. There are so many morphs out there I'm not sure which one to get and I haven't quite learned what kind of morphs you'll get when you breed two other morphs. I've been given a lot of great information from friends but unless I write everything down I tend to forget all that info especially when it comes to what kind of offspring you'll get when you breed two morphs. I have 2 5-tub racks from boamaster on the way and look forward to filling all the tubs.
 
I think a fem Cinnamon het Albino would be sweet. I think I saw a possible het breeder size for sale around your price range.
 
Cool, thanks...I'll have to see if I can find it. I thought a piebald would be cool but not sure what you'd get when breeding them with another morph and they are a little above the budget range I was looking for.
 
If you cross the piebald with the albino you'll get a normal looker that's double het for albino piebald. A pair of those run a nice penny but when you get a visual, big $$$ if you can find a buyer.
 
Hey thanks, like I said I'm still new to the breeding thing so this info is coming in very handy. If I couldn't find a piebald female to pair with my male albino and got a male piebald and paired it with the female albino pastel would the outcome be the same for the most part or would that pastel gene make a difference?

Click to expand...

I missed the pastel part. That would be the better deal for sure. You would get the same results but half would be visual for pastel.
 
I would recommend a lesser and a mojave ( one male one female ) that would be a great blue eyed lesser project, and there is a ton of work going on with lesser combos and mojaves still to give you a lot of pairing options in the future. As far as I know pieds are still in the 700 and up range. If you want to get into pieds I would recommend getting a het pied female and raising it up, by the time it's close to breeding size a male pieds price should have dropped a bit and should be more affordible. That's just my opinion. Good luck in whatever you choose.
 
Try looking on worldofballpythons.com Michael. It has a morph list. U click on any of the Morphs and if its a combo it will tell u which morphs make it and provide a pic of that morph. It also has a genetic wizard where all u do is plug in what u have an/or what u want to breed and its show u the outcome of the cltch in percentages.. Gives u a rough idea.

Great site and whetre i am learning most of my stuff from.
 
Yea its a big help..

And when u use the G-Wiz Like say for ur Pastel albino all u do is click albino the hold down CTRL and select albino.. U can do it for other double+ gene Balls as well
