Just getting my Breeding Plans for next year out there! 
Ball Python Breeders:
Females
Nobara Banana Lesser Pewter
She’s ready to produce another clutch for me as of now, but I’m going to hold off until January 2026 or later.
Opal Russo Lesser BEL
She just recently laid a clutch of eggs so I’m going to hold off on pairing her until late 2026, possibly around Oct of that year.
Mango Clown +?
Recently got this girl along with another male that I will include further down the list that was originally from @chesterhf. She’s passed quarantine and is well over 2000 grams so I plan to pair her up in January 2026. The male she came with is her son and he looks unique, @t_h_wyman and @chesterhf believe he may be a Carbon Clown as that is the closest comparison they’ve found, but that is yet to be proven…
Males
Pesto Clown +?
The male that came with Mango. Gorgeous Clown male, has a chaining pattern in his “alien heads” and stark grey-ish brown tones with a bright white belly, almost looks like an Axanthic in coloration but I know he isn’t from his parent info. Really hopeful to see if I can figure out if theres something going on with him other than Clown, would shed test him for Carbon but RGI doesn’t have a test for that morph 
Jango Banana Mystic Pastel
My favorite, shhh… don’t tell the others 
, he produced some beautiful babies for me this year so if Pesto doesn’t get the job done I know he certainly will!
I think I’ll dual sire all of next year’s clutches with both Jango and Pesto… just to give Pesto a chance and see if he produces any babies, but if not Jango will give some variety babies and het Clown babies with Mango
Kingsnakes…
So unfortunately earlier in August my only breeding female Brooksi Kingsnake, Coco, passed away I believe to reproductive issues (retained infertile eggs)… I have a male I was growing up to pair her to as well as my Hypo male Copper, but now I only have them unfortunately 
I’m not entirely sure if I want to continue with Brooksi Kings, as honestly they did not sell well for me although I enjoyed working with them. I might give it some thought over the next year just in case I change my mind- I am still somewhat in mourning of Coco so its a possibility I will reconsider once I fully come to terms with her loss.
I however do look forward to working with other varieties of Kingsnakes but its all still up in the air for now.
Other Colubrids
I have this 1.1 pair of WC Eastern Ribbon Snakes I sexed for confirmation a few months ago. They are cohabbed, so the possibility of them breeding next spring is there if they haven’t already paired withoutme noticing, and I’m super excited about that since they will be producing 1st Generation CBB babies. Its not a 100% guarantee for breeding but I’m adding them here just in case!
Oh and I just realized I never named these two! Anyone have any name suggestions??
Mourning Geckos
I figured I would add them here too, just because they reproduce basically all year round for me… I have yet to find their egg-laying spot in the huge 40gal terrarium I set up for them though so idk how many babies they have, how many eggs are incubating or any of that lol I really need to set up a nighttime camera to see if I catch any babies running around with them…
But anyway thats about it for my breeding plans next year. I’m hoping for a good year next year
