I suppose sell-ability depends on who your customers are. If you have local pet stores or shows where you think you can sell normals and amels, maybe it's an OK idea. But the price of normals and amels (which are produced in mass numbers) is lower than that of a bloodred 100% het for amel, which isn't as common.



From what I've seen, amels and normals sell for about $10-$15 (and sometimes less - if they sell at all). You also need to look at the price of shipping. For lower priced snakes it often costs more to ship than the price of the animal, and you'll find people generally don't want to pay that.



Even if you sold bloodreds 100% het for amel for $30 each (they'd probably sell for more than that), it's double or triple what you'd make with amels and normals. The way I look at it, if you're going to go through the trouble of reproducing the snakes, you might as well make some money - as well as something that will have a higher demand then normals and amels.



Don't get me wrong, I like normals and amels, but if you want breeding advice, I'd get a male bloodred.
