Hi everyone!

I'm hoping to take the plunge sometime this year, and attempt to breed, and hatch my first clutch of neonates. Eventually, I would like to get into breeding chondros, but that's a very long ways off (although I currently own one, whom I adore).

So in the meantime, I would like to try my hand at breeding a few types of less expensive species. Ones that mature relatively quickly or are easy to find are great, but I'd be willing to try almost anything. Ratsnakes are one of my main interests, so I figured I'd check in here to get folks' opinions. I would consider both North American and Asian ratsnakes, but I have to admit I find the Asian species more interesting as whole.

Can anyone give any recommendations for a first-time breeder to tackle? Marketability is not as much of a concern as my probability for success as a first-timer. I'm a very attentive keeper and a careful record-keeper, so I'd be interested in suggestions ranging from "rank beginner/foolproof" to "advanced beginner" categories.

Thanks a bunch!!!
