ball python prices

the investment part might go south if mom is expecting a quick turn aroun. I know irght now i not even made a profit and ibeen gonig at this for over 5 years( last 4 in bps) I started out just rescuing , then purchased my first hets in 07 and I just produced my first visisble morph this year and have not sold any of them. I only have 26 snakes right now and i figuree I spending upwards of 100 bucks minium maintaining them. That just in aspen, and some rodent bedding I am currently having a problem aquiring food items cause inmy area there id only 2 pets shops and they both can't keep enough in stock live (since i got a few that take live only ) I doing it for the love ofthe hobby and know I may never make a profit ( specially with the prices dropping ) in 07 a pied was like close to 2 grand and now they lucky to break a grand, the hets are useless cause I am an unknown and people don't want take the risk.

To rabernet, thank you for the links, but I have read those already, the only reason that the seller is selling off his collection is that he`s moving and can`t take them with him.

and to all concerned about the cost and ROI, I`ve talked with my father about this, and they won`t expect their money back in one lump sum, they will let me pay back over several months and won`t charge me interest.

I take no offense to anything, and I understand that you are all just trying to help. None of you really know who I am, so for all you knew I was just some 15 year old getting in too deep. Thank you all for your advice.

Still didn't work from my home computer on Chrome. But it's working at work on IE7.

Take this into consideration before you take the risk with someone elses money. What if they do not sell? What if you lose money? What if some freak accident happens, and they all die? How are you going to pay the money back? Prices drop each year, so you should not be looking at current prices, but prices over the last five years to determine what they will be next year, and the year after. Good luck.

OP - give this link a try again:

I contacted Colin to let him know that we were experiencing a page that loaded all black and he said he thinks he's fixed it now. I'm not at home to see if it's fixed from a computer that couldn't load the page (no issues from my work computer).

Thanks rabernet, the link is working for me now. That was a very good read.
