I am personally feel the future of the Ball Python Morph market is bright (If I didn't I prob would not have started breeding and invested my savings in morphs)
Very well put, I am also a late coming breeder. I feel the BP market is evolving. Now I feel the pain of the old school Ball Python breeders(like when I bought my first female Lesser last year and the breeder was told me about how he sold his car to buy his first Lesser back in the day) but I think the falling prices for single co-doms is good for the market and breeders. As jfreels said as the prices drop more people find it affordable enough to start a little morph breeding project or own a morph as a pet. Prices may go down but demand goes up. It’s not like we are going to run out of morphs, even as the prices for double and triple codom's starts to fall new high dollar morphs are created everyday. I watched NERD's new video the other day and was blown away, and that just what the evil morph god is letting us see!I think as far as the ball pythons future, I think it's looking bright. Now I'm a late comer, so I don't know the trends of the past. I only know what I have personally perceived. Morphs are flooding the market. I would imagine that wasn't how it was 5-10 years ago. Please correct me if I'm wrong. At the last Repticon I attended, I don't even think you could buy a normal. I could get some hets and some pastels for cheaper than what a pet store charges for a normal.
Every time I get the chance to log on BP.net or Kingsnake I can't wait to see what new morph/morph combo has been discovered. I can only imagine what us breeders will be seeing/producing 5 years down the road. In 6-7 years will a Killer bee possibly be the price of a Bumble bee today? Maybe. But maybe by then a Panda Pied will be the same price/availability as a Killer bee is today then we will have another impossible-to-have morph to dream about and talk about how crazy expensive it is.
To wrap this up I have nothing but optimism about the future of the Ball Python market.
