Hello I’m looking to buy two breeder females to pair with my super pastel enchi male this season. I was wondering what would be recommended morph wise? I’m really open to anything I’m looking to get two females who will produce pretty different outcomes with my current male. Any opinions are great thank you.
Likely to be an unpopular opinion for you but… Entirely too much of this hobby seems to run on the MLM mindset that you HAVE to breed to be a “real” keeper and this just encourages people to breed without putting real thought into it
My strong recommendation to you would be to become significantly more versed in what your morphs are, how they are inherited, what combos you could make, and how to properly identify them. After that, think about how you are going to to care for all of the babies you produce, how you will house them, how you will feed them, and how you will get rid of all the ones that you do not want to keep (and “I will just put them on MM and they will sell no problem” is not the correct answer)
I am not saying all of this to be a jerk. This is coming from my multiple decades of being in this hobby. I also freely admit that I do breed some of my animals. However, I have answered all these questions for myself and I know my limits and my boundaries
There is absolutely nothing wrong with going slow and taking your time. Learn your animals. Become a ‘student of the serpent’. After that, then think about whether or not you want to breed
