Royal morph breeding

[malky201]

Hi, am planning on breeding royals in the future and wanted to get three of them, but am unsure what morphs go well together etc. Wouldnt really want to spend much more than £500 a snake to start with, till i really know what im doing, so was just hoping for some advice for a newbie breeder on what morphs to go for? I like the look of spiders, mojaves and albinos, but again am unsure of what offspring id get from pairing any of these. Thanks

mojave x spider would produce

Normals
mojaves
spiders
mojave spiders

Mojave x albino would be

normal 100% het albino
mojave 100% het albino

Spider x albino would be

Normal 100%het albino
Spider 100% het albino

albino is a reccessive morph so you wouldn't get visual albinos in the first generation, put a mojave het albino back to the parent albino to try for albino mojaves

500 a snake i'd get

female pastel £300
male spider £250
female mojave £300

put the spider male to both females.

you'd have change too

Depends on what you like, morphs are coming down in price which means there are more and more morphs within any price range at a given time each year.

Breed what you like best then you'll be happy with the results.

There were actually some nice super pastels for sale at 550 last week, i'm sure you would be willing to pay an extra 50 since a super could get you onto more expensive morphs fairly fast.

super pastel male
spider and pinstripe females
to get...
normals, spiders, pastels, pins, bumblebees and lemonblasts

One thing nobody has mentioned is that you will need to be buying females at least 1 year, but preferably 2 years older than the males if you are looking to fast track your breeding, otherwise you have a 3 year wait for the females to get up to weight from a hatchling...

Yeah what weight do the females need to be? 1500g? Thanks for all your comments

Some people say 1200, others will wait until they're 1500g

alan1, would it be the super pastel and pinstripe together to make bees?
