Hi.
Im new to breeding corn snakes and have a femail hypo corn snake that i would like to bread.
When i purchased my hypo the bloke said something about breeding with another hypo to produce another type of corn snake that is worth much more than the normal ones. Can someone enlighten me on this matter please ie... what kind of corn does it produce, what colour it produces, weather there are any risks and anything else i might need to know.
Thanks very much

| i was told though that breeding two hypo's would produce a different morph. a rarer one worth much more than the hypo |

Even if you were to sell the hypos back to the shop he wouldn't give you £40 because he has to make his profits aswell.
Unless the snakes have matching hets hypo is all you will get. |

Agree with you DB91 They will probs only pay like £15 each for them and then they sell them for loads more making a huge profit.  |

| If you sold the babies to the shop, you'd probably get £10 for them. £15 if he's feeling nice. Sounds like he was just triyng to get you to buy another snake. |

They were exactly my thoughts. He probably sensed that you didn't know much about breeding and the genetics of the morphs and decided that he could make a bit of money from you, by letting you think you were infact the one that was going to be making the money. |

If these snakes were real money spinners anyway they wouldn't be by now as everyone would be breeding them.
Unless he meant like a different form of hypo like a strawberry? There is no real money in breeding corns though, I think the breeders on here can tell you that. |

That depends on the morphs you breed and on the scale you do it. Maybe breeding as a hobby wouldn't bring in much money but there are people who have successfully turned breeding corns and other snakes into a successful business. |

| Maybe other snakes but it would surprise me with corn and I don't think it's a "get rich quick" kind of thing. |

theres no get rich quick with cornsnake breeding. If you want to get rich, then you will need to be rich in the first place to buy the high end morphs and new combinations that other rich people will buy the babies from.
As an example, last year the majority of my snakes i had to wholesale to a shop because they weren't selling - i got just over a tenner each for them. Supply far outweighs demand for lower end corns unfortanately which drives the price right down, the cheapest I've seen this year so far is £25 for ultra anery - a few years back this would have fetched hundreds. |

A het is a gene that is carried but not necesarily visible.
For instance if your hypos parents where a hypo and a ghost(Hypo Anery), then the hypo babies would carry the anery gene, making them het for anery.
So if both snakes carried the anery gene and you then bred them to each other you could get Anery babies, aswell as hypos and ghosts(hypo aneries).
Unfortunately without knowing your snakes parents there is no way of knowing of any hets they may carry. |
