Leucistic balls...

I plan on purchasing fires.

If you are plannning on buying the snakes and breeding them for money you are going to be disapointed. You have to be preparred to keep the snakes for a long time in order to sell them.

That's kind of like saying "I'm going to start a construction company, will anyone hire me to build them stuff?" ... The only real answer that anyone should give you is ... "that's up to you" ... if you going to sell snakes, then you are going to operate a business ... there is no business in the world (except maybe for that guy in texas that makes the gold grills) where customers just throw their money at you and you don't have to do anything to get it ... businesses take work ... selling ANYTHING takes work ... marketing, advertising, etc ... That's why 90% of every business started fails in the first year, because people don't have any idea what it takes to make a business successful.

If you're asking if there is a market for high end ball pythons, the answer is yes ... there are lots of people making very good money selling these animals ... if you're asking if there is a strong future for high end ball pythons, in my opinion there is, as the market grows and ball python mutations become easier to afford for the average person, the demand will increase. If you're asking if you personally will have success breeding and selling snakes ... well, that's completely up to you.

Wiser words have hardly been spoken :gj:

The best of luck to the OP :)

I think worth trying, if you have the $$$ for a fire-couple than this will pay at least back from the first eggs hatching. Leucistics will always be very wanted animals.

I say breed what you like and have fun with it. Be 100% honest with people!! Start off small and build as you get a good name for your self .If you are going to try your hand at breeding try a cheaper morph first and let the sales from them pay for your high end . Just because you have a sexed pair dos not mean that you will get babies there is more work in breeding any reptile that one mite think .just my two cents worth . :sunny:
