So I was really bored yesterday and made the mistake of looking at ball pythons. These are fairly small easy going little snakes... but they have the most gorgeous mutations! At least 10-12 codominant patterns have been found, along with some recessive and dominant ones as well. It sounds like so much fun to breed them!
I'm beginning to worry that I'll go to the CRBE in September and buy myself a pastel male (cost about 400$) and a normal female (cost about 100-150$). I mean, it'd be awesome, but what are the chances I'll find a roommate who's cool with my snakes? And if I do that I'd probably have to give up my uro plan at least for a little while. (Frankly I think giving up one uro for two breeding snakes is awesome, but the uro would be about the cost of the normal female.)
And then once I have two, I seriously doubt I'll be able to stop. I mean, it's genetics... and it's SCALY and it fits in a 2x2x2 box and it eats once a week. :D
