The pastel is cheap, but it still makes great combos.
But what if some hidden gene is discovered? The lessers price might skyrocket?
Doubt it, but you know what, a good breeder will not care, he will be focusing on how to better the quality and be happy that he has the chance to breed at all. Look at puppy mills, all they care about is how much they can make, and look at good backyard breeders, they care about lineage and not selling sick animals and making sure the buyer is happy with what they are getting, and the buyer does not have to worry about the puppy getting sick from being inbred or parasites.
Umm a breeder is in it to make money...a hobbyist however might not care.

Kinda disagree with you on the leopard gecko comment. Price on Tremper Albino drop way quickly but gecko can produce multiple clutches each season and they can start breeding once they're one year old.
"Plus", there're many new morph/combo leopard gecko come out every years, of course the price for based morph drop but new morph/combo still command high dollar for. Just like someone already point that out about ball python.

I thought Ralph said on his website that "only normal looking animals that Platty Daddy produce" can breed back to Platty(or to something)and produce more Platty Daddy(I love this name lol)
I might be wrong though. :)

ok i will give you that. BUT (LOL)
90% of the geckos sold go for under 100 bucks. who wants to pay 45 dollors in shipping on a 100 dollor animal. that is why most of the people that make great money with leos are doing the same thing the corn snake people have to do. they hit a ton of shows.
It is simple as can be, SUPPLY & DEMAND!!!! No matter how much wishing fighting begging soap box screaming shouting :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:ing moaning nothing will prevent this from happening! unless you increase the demand to surpass the supply or reduce the supply under the demand!!! SIMPLE ECONOMICS!!!!
so if you are one of those people like a lot of us that have a lot of money in ball pythons. do what only a few people are doing. trying to get more people involved with these awesome :snake:. insted of slinging crap in each others faces with all the bs argewing that drives people away. in the end these people are going to be the ones to blame. some of the people that are the worst about doing this you dont hear to much from any more. wich is the only thing that will save ball pythons in the long run.
Just my $0.02 :gj:

dont worry the platty is a confusing thing. i guarentee you that with out asking someone else or looking it up. 90% of people dont know what a platty even is. and less than 1% of the people that do know what it is, know how the hell it is done. LOL :rofl:

:whisper: Maybe you've heard of a little radio show called Reptile Radio or an internet tv show that's coming called Snakebytes TV
Call me silly, but I don't even think a significant percentage of the American population is even aware of ball python morphs. Once the word and excitement starts spreading, there's going to be more demand than supply.
Re: Where will morphs be in a few years
i have listned to it since day numero uno. and that was not the first place that show was talked about. it has ben on BHBs my space longer.
any thing else smart to say???
AWESOME video
thanks for posting it.
it is a little sad that it is only a internet show. i wish it was going to be on animal planet. so people outside the reptile world would know about it.

Did I say the show was talked about on Reptile Radio? And why the hostility? I made a counter argument that I believe that BOTH Reptile Radio and the Snakebytes TV are going to generate a lot of interest in ball pythons and ball python morphs. Thereby increasing demand.
Do you disagree and if so, why? Instead of asking me if I have anything else "smart to say", why don't you engage in a civil discussion. Did I say something in my post that offended you? :confuzd:

i guess i just dont like to argue in public. you are right bhb is going to do things no one else has ever done before and he is going to sell a lot of snakes because of it. and a lot of others will sell a lot of snakes due to the publicty that he brings to the market.
but the comment i made a few posts back is that even you and me on a small level can make a difference. by just not driveing away a lot of the people that come to fourms and see nothing but fighting.
i just watched that video again and it is great.
thanks for posting it again.
