Guys , this year could be my first time at this bereeding . Is it worth it , ive got a female reverse oketee from south mountain(i got her off craigslist) , brilliant female very light and ive got a crimson male het amel . Curious of opinions breeding these what ill get . ill just get normals and amels right. mayby hypo?
 
You'll just get normals and some amels, yes. Not really that worth it as both of those morphs are as common as dirt and very hard to move. Do you *really* want to be housing and feeding some 20 hatchlings for the months/year it takes you to find them homes?
 
Definitely do your research before making the decision!

I think you'd get some amazing results with what you've got, honestly. Lighter amels with thick borders and it could be line bred, not to mention the addition of hypo would be cool too. It'd be a neato project, now you've got me thinking... :)
 
What tara is suggesting is basically a high-white RO, which already are out there. That line breeding project, starting from scratch, would probably take a good 3 or 4 generations to see any results (9 to 12 years).

Figure out *why* you want to breed, and *what* you want to breed, and if you have the funds to support those babies and take care of a female or three if they get eggbound and need veterinary attention.
 
Very few of them out there. ;)
And it would be a fun breeding project, especially with the hypo!

(and it's obvious that research would be necessary)

It's a fun hobby once you get into it. Just know and be curious as to what you're getting in to, I couldn't stress that enough.
Without the encouragement of Don Soderberg (cornsnakes.net) I'd never be working with corns today, and I'm super happy that I am.
If you want to do it for financial reasons though, don't do it. There's definitely not money in corns.
 
If you're prepared to keep any babies that you don't sell, & research the pros & cons of breeding, then I see no problem with that breeding project. (You should get about half Amels het Hypo, & about half Normals het for Amel, Hypo.)

With the RO & the Crimson, you could end up with some pretty variations.
 
Hey , thanks just as i thought yes and no . I thought might be interesting and yes thats the descision to make , care for all them till they get in new homes. Any way here is the female
