Waitlists help find the perfect home for your animals without even listing them.

They provide a way for buyers to request future animals from a breeder. Sellers can accept and manage these requests to quickly match animals to buyers when they are produced.

Waitlists can be found using the menu or sidebar. Requests can be created from several places:

• Waitlists Sent Tab
• Store Page
• Not for Sale Animals pages
• Projects: Pairing and Offspring Group pages

Breeders can accept waitlist requests on the Waitlists/Received page and communicate with buyers using the Messenger.

Learn all about waitlists in our help article.

Note: Buyers can also monitor animals for sale or in upcoming projects using Saved Searches and Alerts. But the waitlists are different in that they send a message to the seller and get on their list.

In MMiA Episode 4 we talk with Amad Osman aka “Ozzy” who is the owner of Ozzy Boids. Ozzy is the originator of the Orange Dream gene which has been one of the most significant ball python genes in the hobby. He has perfected the art of producing cutting edge combos and is always working to improve himself and help others.

In this video Ozzy shares business and breeding tips that can help you be as successful as you want. Together we'll import his breeding animals into the system, setup his breeding plan and explore clutch creation. You can find the import template we used here: https://tinyurl.com/mm-import.

Announcing Breeding Plans!

Breeding Plans will help you plan, track, and promote your projects.

• Experiment with pairings and visualize possible outcomes
• View expected combined outcomes for your entire season
• Share projects, expectations and results with the community

You can access the Breeding Manager using the "Breeding" item on the menu or the beaker icon.

The basic steps are as follows:

1. Add your not-for-sale breeding animals to your collection if you haven't already done so.
2. Activate the breeding adults which you want to work with this season.
3. Pair up male to females or females to males.

After creating pairings, you can do things like:

• View the combined outcomes which are possible from all the pairings using the "Outcomes" button.
• Share individual pairings by setting their visibility to public. These will show up in the MorphMarket Projects section of the site.
• Share your entire breeding plan. It will include all public pairings.
• Create Offspring Groups from the pairings as females ovulate. From here you can later easily generate the offspring, which can then be turned into listings.

The best part is that Breeding Plans are available to all MorphMarket users free of charge. Members get extra benefits with no new costs, such as the ability for other users to browse, search and get alerts on their project activity.

Upcoming improvements include:

• Breeder Waitlists for buyers to engage sellers on potential offspring
• Recording breeding activity such as pairing events, locks, and follicle sizes
• Multiple breeding plans

Learn more about Breeding Plans by watching the video above and by reading our support article or try it out right now!

MorphMarket Projects: Plan. Pair. Promote.

We haven't added any new top level categories in 18 months, but we just promoted four today!

All of these were subcategories which now enjoy full category status. For these herps you can now enjoy all the functionality that makes finding amazing animals so easy on MorphMarket, including ads indexed by trait tags, subcategories, store directories, and calculators.

The newly minted categories are:

• Chameleons
• Tegus
• Tree Boas
• Bullsnakes

You might wonder, how did we choose these? Occasionally, we add new subcategories to group ads which are in the "other" buckets. Then, we monitor these subcategories and when they get large enough, we promote them.

We do not claim that our data is perfect, but we are always updating and improving it and we welcome your feedback. The best place for input is in our community subforum which has a form that you can fill out. In particular, there is more room for us to better organize the Tegus category.

If you have ads in these new categories, you might want to review them to make sure the appropriate traits tags have been added. You can add tags by modifying the ads and updating the traits field with the relevant tags.

We hope you enjoy these changes. We are all about improving our data, design and functionality to be the best online resource for connecting the community of herp lovers.

What do you think we promote next? The isopods and spiders are looking ripe!
