I went the long route on most projects. Albino project het male and two het females will breed next season. Ghost het female and will purchase a male homo soon. Male 66% het male lavender to normals this season, Male het clown to het female in 07-08.
Most hets were purchased as a budget way to produce morphs.If I could afford it I would have purchased homo males and multiple het females with a backup het male for every project. I really have decided to focus a full rack per morph .........Things happen , It sucks to raise a male for 2 years and females for 3 years only to find that your only male for that particular morph doesnt wan to breed that year.In the future I will purchase homo males of medium expense animals like ghost , Albinos, and purchase multiple het females per rack. I would ultimately like to have two homo males and 5-6 female hets per project. For the average hobyist that cant drop $8,000- $30,000 on a single animal hets are the way I will go. So clowns , Lavenders , Pinstripes, Etc will have to be done with het to het breedings. For the total budget minded ........Buying a full clutch of poss hets to breed to your het male is the way to go preferable all females(That gene is in there you just have to find it. With a single pos het purchase your taking a gamble that you purchased the one with the gene your looking for. With a clutch purchase you have the gene you just cant see it .........But its there! Its that much more exciting when that morph is produced. It will take me 4 years to prove out that 66% lav...Breed to a normal raise babies to breeding age breed back to him and hopefully get a homo animal or Ill have lots of normal females.
