Ball python morph prices have been in a downward spiral for a few years now.

You will NOT make a profit unless you are working with high end morphs that not many people have yet. If you get beginner morphs, you will most definitely not make a profit.

lol i'm not talking about a 'puppy mill' here. I'm talking about a small breeding colony that I enjoy caring for and selling a couple of clutches every year to cover costs and have a bit of spending money off of. I feel like if youre smart about it, you can make money off of this, just like any other hobby out there. People make money breeding dogs...i make money teaching guitar lessons. I think it would be easy to do if you keep a business mind and dont get caught up in minimizing your profits by constantly over expanding yourself trying to have every morph out there with nobody to sell them to.
