A bit of relief for those of you concerned about plummeting ball python prices: I think that current breeders of quality animals know that they can set their prices well above what the poor quality breeders are charging and still sell. Take a page out of their book.

For those of you who are worried about your "investments" (I hate calling snakes "investments", they're living creatures for goodness' sake) going bad, don't worry. Focus on breeding true quality animals and provide premium customer service. There is still room in the market for expensive top-of-the-line examples of morphs.

Be Rolex, let the undercutters be Timex(or whatever analogy works for you).
