    Best starter breeding python?

    Hey guys ive been doin some research about breeding and i would like to give it a crack at some point but just curious to whether or not different types on pythons are easier to breed than others or is it simply lucky of the draw with any breed? Also what are some key tips in picking a good pair except the obvious male and female.

    You can't go wrong with antaresia, they are small, easy to look after and readily breed. If you do breed them, then the hatchies are easily kept in small containers till they are moved on. Picking a pair is down to personal taste, purchase what you like so you will enjoy working with the animals. Everyone has a different opinion on what looks nice and what doesn't, so get what you like and do not be influenced by other opinions.

    Any carpet python... Easier to feed than some of the ants.

    I don't breed,

    but I would say anything you personally like...
    No point breeding them for money, cause if they don't sell, you're the one stuck with them.
    If you love life, don't waste time, as time is what life is made up of

    i would say coastals are great carpets for the beginner breeder... they worked a treat for me. But i would just go with whatever rocks your boat as it will better for you in the long run!
