I would get this

0.10 normals...never can have enough
0.5 lemon pastels
1.0 spider
1.0 pinstripe
1.0 citrus ghost
0.2 het citrus ghost
1.0 albino
0.2 het albino

I would breed
pinstripe to 3 pastels
spider to 2 pastels
citrus to het citrus
albino to het albino
spider to 3 normals
pinstripe to 2 normals
albino to 2 normals
ghost to 3 normals

out of this u would get, bumble bees, spiders, pastels, ghosts, albinos, lemon blast, pinstripes, 100% het albinos, 100% het ghost.

On average on a four egg clutch you would get this much
pinstripe x8
spider x 10
pastel x3
lemon blast x3
bumble bee x2
citrus ghost x4
albino x4
het ghost x12
het albino x12
normal x10

you could do that breeding above or take a lemon pastel to the ghost and get pastels 100%het ghost....thats a pretty popular morph now

for prices of these averages between males and females
pinstripes 2000
spider 1000
pastel 300
lemon blast 7000 (correct me people if im wrong)
bumble bee 4500
normal 20
ghost 1100
albino 1000
het ghost males 250 females 750
het albino males 75 females 450
(pastel het ghost about 3000)

toal selling of these animals if they all hatched and were sold is
$88600 minus bedding, rats, time, effort....

Hope this helps you could also get a male pastel and a female cinnie and make some pewters or get a male cinnie and make super cinnies....endless possibilities....thats why I love balls...hope this helps....this would be perfect

any other questions....im here to help

That's assuming you bought ALL breeders (males and females). The prices you're looking at reflect current prices.

I saw your post of this 12 lines down...

It sounds like you're, you're looking at purchasing hatchlings (possibly yearlings), which puts you back 2 more years before you breed the females. Why not save major $$$$$$ like this:

Purchase your 4 males and 8 normal females (all breeder size). Then pick up a couple yearling female normals. Breed your males to 2 females each. Then, the following year, you'll have all your het females and visual females you wanted, plus more!

In your second year, you'll have your 10 breeder females and all the hatchling female morphs...andy you saved a ton of money! It only puts you back 1 more year, but in the long run, I think it actually helps you out, as you'll have even MORE morph females that you originally intended.

I think you might underestimate the cost (and overestimate the availability) of breeder female morphs. Just my thought.

...Can't...stop...must...get...more...balls...

I think you are way overestimating both production in your 1st breeding season and the price you will be able to sell your hatchlings for. Some of your prices are high even for current market price. Especially on the codoms and hets. In 2 years your prices will be way off.
