My plan was to get an albino Darwin male to breed with my het female. She's 2.5 years and will hopefully be breeding size for this season. But it's still a guess whether she'll be fit to breed or not.
But then a payment I was relying on for the albino looks like if it will come, it wont be until June. So if I'm lucky I'll probably only have $500-$700 for a new snake. I was considering getting another het to breed with her, but there's still the chance she wont breed anyway. And there will be so few albinos in the hatchlings that it wont really net me any profit.
The reason why I want albinos, aside from the benefit of making a fraction of my money back, is so that I can have a 'special' snake. There have been so many new snakes introduced into mainstream keeping recently, I like to call them 'elitist'; Jags, RP's, Hypos, RSP's, blue tree snakes, GTP's, slatey greys etc. That's the kind of snake I want, although I still can't decide which one.
But at the same time, I still want to breed this year. There is so much I want but I can't even get half of it.
So basically I'm trying to decide on the options in the poll. Can anyone help with suggestions?
And, if I was to get a 'special' snake, what should I be looking at in my price range?
