Best sellers/can't pass it up

So looking though the how much have you paid for a morph thread got me thinking; what are your guys best sellers? Single gene animals or expensive combos?

Then that question got me thinking again (I was bored today I guess =P)
What can't you pass up when you run into it?

I personally haven't produced yet but things I just have to stop and drool over are pretty much anything bright yellow =P desert combos, bumblebees, and the likes. I REALLY want a buzz! Definitely on the top of the list of things I would want if I won the lotta haha!

Im a fan of darker morphs like cinnies and mojos, and anything hypo. If im lucky my pair of cinnies will make a super cinny for me next year :please:
If i can do that ill be pretty satisfied for awhile. After that i would like to get a mojo or hypo, or a combo of them. and then work my way towards getting phantoms to make purple passions. Thats farrrr off in the future though haha.

When I saw my Pastel I HAD TO HAVE HER! $200 asked if the guy would knock a few bucks off the price and he lowered it to $150. I got her the next day haha.

I know a guy who is going to sell me a male Bumble Bee hatchling for $250 I think thats a hell of a deal !! Once I heard that Im like SOLD! haha just gotta wait for the little boogers to hatch.

Im sure best sellers are like high white pieds. Everyone wants a pied and they are like $1000+ for one.

Oh! I forgot about the darker morphs! Lol as you can see I have a hard time choosing favorites haha!

Thats an awesome deal on a bee! The one I was looking at got sold... =| I'm getting married in a month and a half so I'm not really suppose to be spending money till after that but sometimes you just gotta roll the dice =D hahaha!

I've been producing Pied for 8 years. It's been a couple of years since I've seen $1000+ unless it's a nice high white female. Pieds have dropped considerably in the last 4-5 years. In 2006 they were selling out at $3500-4000. Now you can find low white males for as little as $450....which I consider a good thing.

I agree with you on that one. I havent seen a pied male at an expo for more than $650 in the past few expos. Why are you happy that theyre going down in price so much?

When morphs plateau and become more affordable, more are sold. I sold about 30 pieds last year. My last clutch hatched in december and I was sold out of those in just a few weeks. I only did one show last year and didn't have anything available at the show. Get'em hooked with a well-priced pied and they will return for a combo or several combos. ;) I think pieds will hit their bottom dollar price in the next year or two....at least I hope. I paid $4k for my hets in 2003.

I saw two very nice high white Pieds yesterday in Orlando for $850. Saw some poss Leopard Pieds and a couple Pastel Pieds for $1500 each and saw a smokin' Spied for $2000. All of those snakes were males.

Looks to me like the Pied market is swinging toward animals with multiple genes. I see that as a natural progression and similar to what happend to single gene co-doms once those genetics became common in multi gene animals...just at a different price point.

Enchi's.. I sell out of Enchi's faster than any other morph we produce.

Enchi is like the new Lesser. We used to say everything looks better with Lesser, and now we say the same thing about Enchi.

I don't think I've seen a female Enchi for sale since...ah, actually, I can't remember the last time I saw a nice Enchi female for sale.

I think we'll start to see some female Enchi's pop up simply because breeders are keeping the combo's. I'd also expect them to pull premium price for those that do show up for sale. After all it's not like a breeder couldn't keep them and breed for more combo's with them in two to three years.

Just my two cents.

well it is not a BP, but Australian Brown Water Pythons. Thankfully i do not see them very often. God i miss my baby!

I agree with tha above post...Pieds will always sell and they are hitting the price point of being affordable to most buyers.....
Enchi's are hot and in demand...I crossed my male into 6 different females this year just to stock up on them...and I cant keep them all.
Any white snake sells...Ivory, Blue eyed, black eyed....people love white snakes...
But you also need the "bread and butter" morphs that everyone can afford...Spiders, Pins, Pastels, Cinny, Albino, etc...why...because every breeder on here started with those genes and almost every future breeder will start with them...they are a must have.

I think the orange dreams are at a price range that are very affordable even though so much has not been done with the gene yet. They produce some of the best looking ball pythons I've ever seen with my own eyes, yet there isn't that many and they are in the 1-2k range. I know Ozzy wishes he could have hung onto the gene a little longer, he could have charged so much more after showing the combos he has made using the ODs. This is the time to buy into this project IMO.

Pieds are sold before even being available for sale ;)

I've wanted a pied sense I got into the hobby. That and leucistics. =)

I sold all of my spiders and pinstripes in less than 2 hours at an expo. but then again they were priced to sell m/f $125/$175 or $260 a pair. as for single gene favorites...... I used to love spiders and pastels. but i've really started to admire the dark morphs now. but i just impulsed on an orange dream female because I kept finding myself gravitating to her at the expo.

Pieds and pied combos hands down!
I didnt have any pied projects before last month....now i have 2 pastel pied females :P
Saw her pic and couldnt pass it up. Then i just bought her sister tonight waiting for her to come Thursday hehe
