I have an amelanistic corn snake and I want to breed her. I'm not breeding her for money but I want to make sure I make up or the money I spend raising the babies. Do any of you have any suggestions as to which morphs I can breed with her and gt a decent price fr the offspring?
 
Well

There is no other morphs that will produce any corns that will be worth more then ten bucks each,breed her to a male Sunkissed then line breed the babys to produce Amel Sunkisseds,But that will take a few years and alot of luck considering everything goes right. I been breeding corns about 20 years and the last few years I dont even make close to enough money to pay for there up keep

Breed her with some sort of super expensive Tessera, Homo amel & more.
I'm a bit confused about how you don't want to make money but want to make money.
 
Unless you are really good at marketing, breeding amels isn't going to pay for your mice costs. As has been said, you can make babies het for traits that *might* in the next generation, but two adults eating mice all year simply costs more than a clutch of common mutations. I wish it wasn't that way.
 
My male is an amel and sometimes I day dream on what I would breed him with. I think I would breed him with a snow tessera. I think it would be awesome to just HAVE a snow tessera and I believe amel tesseras would be the outcome so I would be happy.
 
What does he look like? Start there with a pic or two and lets see what we can see ;)

Chip's right, don't expect to recoup the time, effort and $ to get those babies ready to go to new keepers to be "worth it" monetarily. Just have reasonable expectations, a plan and enjoy it for what it is :*)

sorry, I wasn't too clear was I? i meant that I'm not breeding only for money, I'm breeding because i love corn snakes BUT I want to make sure that i make enough money to cover SOME of the expences from the mice. I'm not expecting to cover all of them, just some.
