I was wondering if the african house snake is a good begginer breeding snake I don't want to breed anything like a corn snake but do you have any other suggestions. I have read all of the information on this site http://www.kingsnake.com/housesnake/ and was wondering if you had any other suggestions. I have experience in keeping corn snakes, ball python, vine snake, turtles, tortoises, gopher snake, and a small breeding colony of mice.

There are few snakes as easy to breed as African Housesnakes. They will breed at any time of year and almost as often as you will let them.
If you get housesnakes, make sure you get a morph that produces big babies. Some color morphs produce small babies that are a little harder to get started on pinkies. Most of the bigger morphs are easy to get feeding.

Many ratsnakes are easy to breed as well, although they require some hibernation and will usually only produce one clutch per year (which can be a good thing sometimes).

Could you help me learn what morphs have larger babies I have heard the less eggs the larger the babies and ones that have like 14 eggs have small and hard to get to eat babies.

I frankly don't know, but if I was to make a guess, the natural wild colorations would probably have more robust babies than the specialized morphs.
But I don't know African House Snakes so this is just a guess.

The largest and most robust hatchlings are produced by the Souzh African Lowveld (Zululand) Morph of Lamprophis fuliginosus. You just have to make sure, that your female is not to young when first time being bred. African huse snakes are amongst the most easiest to breed. Care must be taken that males are removed from females after their first two or three copulations, otherwise yoú might end up in females producing eggs every tow months for years. I´ve had one big female laying for two and a half years fertile eggs from a single male whom I seperated after only one week after the initial copulation.
On the other hand they are a joy to keep and come in many colour variants.
