There has been ALOT of talk in the bp world of market crashing- either by auctions/closet breeders/saturation etc. (depending on who you ask). I became involved in this community a few years ago and decided to breed balls because I love them as a species and think that all the variability in their patterns/colors is absolutely breathtaking. I have invested a nice chunk of money in high end morphs (i.e.,OD/GHI/Pieds) and hit the jackpot in terms of the quality of my animals (not my own bias I promise, other people have told me they are good looking too). I want to know the opinions of others on the market in terms of the future pricing of high end morphs and quality base morphs.

I ask this question because my small time breeding operation (I do not want to become a full time breeder or large scale breeder) is just a hobby, with the potential for me to break even and use the money I make with high end snakes to funnel back into breeding/save it for a rainy day. I hope that in a year or two, when I really pick up on production, I will have people willing to purchase really pretty snakes I've produced at reasonable prices. Do you think quality animals will continue to sell at reasonable prices in the next 5 years, or will they just plummet to a point where they loose the potential value? You can focus your answer on OD/GHI/Pied genes for this question if it makes it easier to explain (since they have alot of appeal and I happen to be working with them)
