    Cheapest ball python morphs of the year?
    This is the age old question, however, with different numbers and answers every year, someone should be asking this question every 52 weeks. I'm nowhere near a businessman- only 2 normal female BPs- however, I'm thinking of taking a dip into hobby breeding sooner or later. And a little variability in the genetics could spice that up with some interesting variety. That said, after a few paychecks from a summer job, I should be looking for some dom/co-dom males in a few months. Now down to the original question...

    What are the cheapest morphs and what should I be expecting as a price tag this year? (Pastels are the cheapest as usual, but what are they going to be priced at? For both genders?)

    Pastel is still the "least expensive" (a low quality/bad example of almost any morph is what I would consider cheap) morph in general, but a high quality example is going to be more expensive than some other morphs(Spider, Cinnamon, Pinstripe).
    In general there price range is $50-150 depending on the sex.
    I would be more than happy to pay $2-300 for a high quality female Pastel though.

    I don't know about you, but I'm willing to drop as low as $0.02 lol

    shop the snake not the price. low end morphs are much harder to sell even at lower prices than the same higher quality morph that's much more. people will spend extra for quality. human nature, everyone wants what others don't have.

    Not doing me too many favors, don. What I was intending to ask for was a statistical average on the price ranges. I'll keep that in mind though when I have some dough. :)

    Then you need to do what the rest of us have done and actually research it. Check out KS and Fauna over time and see the trends.

    No one is going to do this work for you, and you will become much better educated on the market doing it yourself.

    Bet if you looked around kingsnake an a few well placed google searches youll find your answer. Don't expect people to tell you information you can easily find. I know I can get pastels for alot cheaper than the average price so I dont pay attention to it an my price isnt public :) lol. Look at a few sites an you'll get a feel for what the average is. Not trying to sound like a jerk jus letting you know
    Btw wasn't ment to you royal just quoted you cuz I agreeded ;) haha
