Dont expect to sell them for what you paid. The prices are constantly going down, and new morphs are appearing all the time.

Ball pythons arent going away

There are reason I think you'll see ball pythons hang around.

1: They are a snake when they are babys. What I mean by that is even as babys they look like a snake. Many corn, king ect as babys look like great colored worms. They don't get that "Snake" feel to them till they get bigger.

2: Size.. Even the biggest Ball pythons isn't to big even for a child to handle. So they stsy in that great Pet snake size. they are easy to house and care for compaire to Cham's, frogs, or even some geckos.

3: Mutations I like Corns and kings but lets face it when it comes to the out ragous morphs ball pythons have everything else beat hands down. I mean there are Corn morphs that have to be explained cause they look so much like each other but With ball pythons there's no way a pied can be mistaen for a Spider or a Bee Mistaken for a Lesser ect ect ect.

3: Clutch size, Compaired to corn and Kings and the like the number of eggs females lay is small. other than geckos and such Ball's lay some of the smallest clutches in the reptile world. I think even turtles have them beat.

4: Combos, I have yet to see any other Morphed reptiled other than Leopard geckos that Combos are such a hot ticket. When we start seeing 5-6 even 7 gene animals going to 200.00 then its time to worry.

So with the low numbers each animal lays, the fact that the mutations are so vastly different (for the most part)

Ball Pythons still have decades of potentional to offer the hobbiest keeper/breeder and the professional breeder.

Gone are the day of 30K animals sold to the select few but in it's place is the era of selective breeding, and careful project planning to see the hobby continue to grow as I know it will.
