A few breeding questions...

briandorry55 Oct 28, 2008 11:04 AM

Ok...so I have had snakes for some time now...I should be breeding my first pair next season...I was wondering, I know that alot of breeders keep all of their snakes separate. Does it really matter if you keep your pair togeter year round? Or is it best to keep them apart and introduce them during mating season? Right now it is just most practical for me to keep my pairs together...

Also...I'm really just starting to understand the morph genetics...But just to make sure I have it right...I think my first morph project with be to make bumblebees since they are one of my favorites...To hatch bumblebees you just need to breed a Spider and a Pastel correct?

Thanks guys...I'm new to breeding and just trying to gain some knowledge on it...

Your chances of breeding them are going to be alot better if you keep them in different cages. If they are around each other too much they wont breed. I know its a pain getting the extra cages but if you'd wanna breed them it is a must.
If you breed a Spider and a Pastel togeather here is your cluch odds.

Hope that clears some things up for you.
