Do people really buy these??

I would want to see two similar looking siblings before I would consider those prices. Something that would give me just a little more hope that there could something going on. I'm not into it enough to gamble the money. But thats how its done.

Dinker or not,it still a normal until it proves out something! I would pay $250 for number 9 but that is all! Our canadian prices aren't even that crazy! Lol!

Look back 10-20 years ago on what pastels,albinos,spiders,cinnies,pinstripes,yb etc went for without knowing anything about them.

Its a gamble you take but if you produce something new YOU get to name it and Mark its Market Price. You cant look at them of being pure normals, as it could pay off ten times over in one season if it proves something new.

You make a good point. I would only point out that some are CLEARLY normals...

I agree with what your saying, But pastels and albinos look different! They look different than normals. If we go and say every normal is a dinker or could be a new morph than everybody would have crazy prices for something that might be just a normal. We already have people asking if there normal is a morph! Just because its lighter than more normals, or the pattern is nicer Etc.

My 2 cents

Theres much you need to learn about the industry and prices associated with possible new morphs.

I can appreciate that...I just think most of us simply don't have that kind of money to gamble with...:P

But yeah, I am also very uneducated as to the ways of how this industry works. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Well, I commented on one of his videos stating why is he selling normals for so much and this is what he said

"Our bush baby ball pythons are not just "normals" These are fresh bloodlines with impressive pattern and color. We sell our "normal" ball pythons for $15 each. We have been in business for 20 years and we know the difference. Thank you."

Ive never heard of bush ball pythons so im not sure what he means.

I am guessing that it means they are from out of the bush of Africa or imported from somewhere!

Ohh I See.

Some of those babies are very nice looking....and if I wasn't scraping by at the moment and had the money, I know I'd take a gamble. I think that's a fun part of the hobby. Because you never know. Yes, it could just be a normal and that would kinda suck (but you just have to tell yourself "oh well" and keep going). BUT, it could be something new....you have to take your chances. If you just stick with the already established morphs, you're just going to be breeding the same exact things most other people are breeding...and creating nothing new.
Just my opinion.
