What t-pos albino is the best one for a new breeder to get into?

I really like VPI's Tpos but opinions?

I don't own any if them, but I personally like the vpi line over any other. I think they are cleaner and seem to sell at a higher price... But there are alot more people with them or hets and I THINK the price will be driven down in the next year or so due to supply. Again I am NO expert but just a guess. So maybe it will be more profitable to go with another line? Hopefully someone who breeds them will give insight.

If you buy boas because its the next best thing, you will only find yourself at times frustrated with the animals, the market, etc. Buy the animals that you enjoy, something that when you go to clean and you open the box, you say WOW. Then all of the other variables seem to disappear.

You have plenty of options, and all of the different lines offer something unique.

Best of luck in your search.

You must choose a project that YOU enjoy and not what others dictate. You are the one that will be looking, cleaning, feeding and handling them not anyone else. Don't do this with making money as your primary reason because nothing is a guarantee. Now with that being said I don't think you can go wrong with the VPIs because they are spectacular and you will never get tired of seeing them in your collection, i promise. Anyway best of luck which ever way you go my friend but make sure you love the project you choose!

I still say wow when I check them in the morning. There are only two that I take out and hold to appreciate once in a while. Could I sell their babies for what I paid for them a year ago?....I really don't know. But I do know I enjoy working with them and have planned a diverse stock that opens up possibilities 3 - 5 years down the road. As a business breeder, or any business for that matter, it takes planning and great salesmanship. As a breeder or collector, it only requires passion.

The current two I speak of are my VPI T's & PP and my Aztec....as boa's are concerned. I love my indigo's too (got eggs this Sun ) Sorry for the off topic rant and rave lol

Most lines havent been out long enough to refine like the vpi's. So to start off a project i would pick out any line of caramel and try to add what you like. I am starting to really get into the bwc(paradigm stuff) because of all the potential combinations that could pop up. I love my caramels!

While working with what you like is great advice, one always hopes to make some money or at least break even. Because of all of the more expensive T's coming down in price, one might invest in Nic T's because there's combo morph potential in those with less devaluing (they can't get much lower). But, since more people are buying into VPI bloodline projects and BWC projects I would probably pick one or both of those...paradigm being an excellent choice because it hits a broader range of potential buyers/larger clientele base, and I actually think the combos will largely turn out prettier on average.
