Well, if you have a male codom/dom and you want to breed it into yellowbelly but you don't have any, what is the more economical option?

1. Buy one female ivory...KS advertisement $2000
2. Buy 6-7 yellow belly females at $300 ea.

Anyone with any sense would buy the 6-7 yellow bellies. True you only have a 1 in 4 chance of hitting a codom x yb, but you have 6-7 snakes to do it with! What if that female ivory doesn't eat well? What if it doesn't reproduce? Etc, etc, etc. Going with the YB's minimizes risk.

Average 4 eggs.
Codom x ivory= 2 codom yb and 2 yb
Codom x 6 yb = 6 codom yb, 6 yb, 6 codom, and 6 normals

Which is more profitable?
