What should I breed?

singlehomozygous Aug 19, 2008 07:16 PM

Many years ago I bred Corns and Cali kings. I now Have no snakes but I'm a reptile keeper at an Environmental center. So I would like to start breeding snakes again on a very small scale. I was thinking Black Milksnakes or Maybe Sinaloas? Whats Popular in the pet trade these days? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Always breed and keep what you love...that's my thought on the matter.

You are completely correct. Its the genetics of all these animals, I must pull into question. I havent been keeping up on the snake trade for the last few years. It seems like everything is a hybrid/het for something/inbred over and over again. Any good books out there that will decipher all this.
