Hello everybody........thought I might show this one off. He came from my last clutch of 08 calicos. He should still have some changing to do, so I'm excited to see the outcome.......



Now the question......I've been breeding snakes for a living the past few years, and I see the same questions being asked from customers, friends, etc., and I KNOW that there are some answers they would like to know if they only knew the question to ask. So I thought I might offer some advice here on kingsnake. Basically, tips that I wish I knew when I had started....it would have made things much easier! I am not claiming to be an expert......I'm just someone who dedicates every day to snakes, and has learned a thing or two. Many people think doing this for a living is a pipe dream......I know otherwise. However, there are several tips that would make things much easier, and get you there much faster. I'm offering advice on husbandry, breeding, selling, shipping, saving time, cutting costs, ideas and observations on different morphs that may help you in your future breeding decisions, what I do in my facility, etc........anything that comes to mind that I know might help.....



So the question is, is this something people would like to read? Just like everyone else, I'm busy, and I don't want to waste time doing something not worth doing. I just realize there is no one else out there really doing something like this.......books are weak, advice here can be a bit shaky sometimes, and with most of the breeders out there, no one wants to help anybody. So if you want me to do this......I WANT TO SEE SOME RESPONSES. I'm thinking I may do one a week, maybe more, maybe less, and with each one of my rantings, I'm going to attach a pic of something really interesting, like this boy. I have a lot of great stuff, but have been keeping it all to myself!



And for those of you out there that told me a tip, and told me not to tell, you won't be seeing it here......



I was also hoping that by doing this, I would get others with better ideas or different ideas to put in their two cents also.......in this business you are always learning, and I LOVE new tips! So, whether you are a big breeder, small, or anything in between, it would be great if you could help educate......



So.......who wants me to do this?



If people want me to do it, I'm going to title it......Pointers from Priceless Pythons.
