Help me to understand.

That is true. Sometimes I have more noble thought than what would accualy work in the real world sometimes. No matter how much one person trus to make it better for everyone there are always others that will turn around and undermine your efforts. I never thought about someone buying and then reselling, but your absolutely right that would probably happen. So my efforts would be futile. Oh well, it was a good thought and effort, but now that you bring it up it will not work out like I hoped. All though I could limit the purchase to 2 or maybe 3 snakes a person, but if they had the money then they would just buy from another breeder. I'm thinking like a person with a budget. LOL Oh well it was worth a shot.

Only time would tell, and if they do not turn out to be then I will be glad to say you were right.

I can't be sure that next time I sit on the toilet that I won't get sucked down into the sewer ... but that's not going to stop me next time I have to take a dunk.

There's reality and then there's fantasy ... I've been around ball pythons for a long time and have heard everyones pipe dreams .... and in all my years, I know one thing for certain ... there are no short cuts. ;)

i don't know if i'm 100% correct. there is no right or wrong, just opinions. and we are free to sell at whatever price each of us want to. at some point and time the bp morphs will come down as supply increases each year, how long i'm clueless! lol. but as many morphs as there are, there is always a new combo each season too. you could have an effect on markets if you produced alot of babies like thousands. but after paying for a shop to keep thousands and housing,feeding and cleaning expenses i doubt that anyone could afford to sell cheap. just my thoughts.

I know I know. Thanks for being a good sport about it Adam.

BTW ( scratching my head) I didn't realize you were a miget and small enough to fit down in the sewer. LOL Just messing. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and putting up with me :D . I will have more questions in the time ahead. :P


:worship: Thanks Adam :worship:

And everyone else too!!!

Well Vaughn like I said BPs would be a hobby of mine. I;m a collecter at heart. After I become a nurse I plan on expanding my Orchid operation so I can start a business selling orchids. The snakes I would be keeping for myself and as I said breeding for myself, but I couldn't keep everything. When I start getting alot of snakes I will start to raise my own feeders. I already want 5 to 10 acers of land and a couple large GHs. I also want to setup a shed type enclosure for cool growing orchids that would get too hot in a GH. It woudln't be but a couple of grand to get another shed and insilate it for a Herp room. Since I want a collection of various morphs anyways thats already an expence I cannot factor into the exuation because those are for personal pleasure and not for a business aspect. I am by no means planning on being so big that I need emplyees to help care for the collection. Now that doesn't mean thats a definate. I may end up liking it and turn out to be a good breeder and may want to make that part of the business, but thats not the plan.

sounds good josh, when you do it, put me on your 1k list! no joke. nice discussion.

And when a wholesaler comes in a buys your 20 snakes for 1K each and flips them for 12K each (which would mean that you just missed out on $220,000.00 in profit) I will laugh my ace off! :laughing:

-adam

Yeah yeah Vaughn already brought that up Adam :fork: he he he. Then I rebutted that I would limit sale to 2 or 3 snakes per person. Or better yet limit it to public people NOT wholesalers!! Just like some of those used car dealers do when selling alot of cars really cheap. But not to far before that I said I didn't think of that and said that my idea wouldn't work because no matter how much someone wants to make things better for the little guy there are always people out there to muck it all up. Its part of the capitalist system get all those unrealized profits possible. Capitalism a double edged sword, much like anything else.

alright this was a good discussion until "politics" was brought up! lol now it is going to get boring... ball morphs is way more exciting than "politics" it's past my bedtime!

LMAO :neener:
