market for hypo nics

EvoMorphs Apr 11, 2007 12:27 PM

I'm thinking about my breeding projects for this year and I'm trying to find out what to do with my breeder male nicaraguan boa. I got him in a trade and dont know if he will be added to any breeding projects. And thats why I trying to see what the market is for hypo nics.
Thanks for your info
Jason

If you have a female that you think would produce really nice babies with him then breed them together. Don't worry about what the selling price will be, if you do you'll never be happy with what you are doing.

Chris, not to worried about the price I'll sell them for as much as will people want to buy them or am I going to be suck with a bunch of babies that no one wants. I only ask because I dont see many hypo nics in the classifieds.
thanks for your input

Just pair up the Hypo with the best female you can find, selective breeding is key with boas. There will always be a demand for beautiful smaller Hypos!

The nic i have is not a hypo just a normal nic breeder male and what I was thinking is pairing him up with my hypo female. But I dont want to waste her on that if theres not a big demand for them and I really dont see them that much to know what they are going to look like. I think i mite put her with a hogg or hopfully a hypo hogg. I just dont know what to do with him (the nic).
thanks for the help

There is always "a market" for good looking Central American or locality mutations .... so if you do decide to breed him, get the best looking NIC you can to pair him with ... best idea would be a clean Hypo NIC female.

cheers, John
