Looks fine for a crestie.

Can't really tell a good breeder by looking, only by trying.

Forgot to mention that he is also full pinstripe so all his traits are… harlequin, Dalmatian, full pinstripe and softscale

I gave my opinion to you on a different site.
But will say my opinion any way.

He looks great as pet, but I wouldn't consider him for breeding because he is a harlequin dalmation, they are not what people are looking for and too many like that up for sale which aren't selling well.

However, I do love soft scales. Just make sure you have lineage. My 2 go back to ac reptiles further down the line.

Hello, thanks for replying I have changed my mind about him and decided not to breed him but keep him as a pet

If you want to have a go breeding them just for fun then just go for it, doesn't really matter what others think.

While I agree. You just have to be prepared to keep all of the babies for the next 3 years as that's how long they can retain sperm. Hopefully sooner of them would sell. But generally breeders wouldn't be looking for them so would tend to be sold at cheaper rate and as pet only.

That being said, it would depend on the pairing & soft scales usually sell a little higher so might cancel out.

I was originally thinking if breeding him for sure then I started doing more research and I think it better for him to be a pet only because I honestly think he is very pretty
