New to breeding

I think there will always be a buyer for multiple gene animals, especially recessives like an albino. But will you make enough off of an albino project to make a profit? Maybe over time, but probably not. If you want to make a profit or at least break even, I'd start off getting a couple of 2 gene or more females and begin growing them up. A mix of both pattern and color morphs. If you want to get a female albino, like i said earlier I'd go with a lavender over a regular albino. There is still a lot to do in that project. Then once they are about a 1000 grams, I'd get your project male. This will be your investment animal that you will then breed to your grown females.

Bottom line, get females and start growing them. It's not worth investing in a high end project if you don't have breedable females. I don't know what your budget is. That will really determine where to start as well.

Something to also keep in mind. Pretty sells. If you want to get into a project and sell all your babies, pick something pretty. Albinos are so common nowadays and many are unattractive. Even when multiple genes are mixed in I find it hard to care. Personally, I think the pure toffee/candy projects are going to be huge. They are pretty. And once pattern morphs start getting mixed in, watch out.

No start with albinos, some people will look at the quality of the animal alone, and others will look up if the seller has a rep and if its good/bad before making a purchase.
If you're trying to sell bamboo with no rep... a lot may be skeptical and pass on by.

I've heard that pieds and het pieds are always good to go with because they always do well in the market. Is that true?

You can never go wrong with pieds.
