Read this transcript Kevin McCurley did on Kingsnake back in 2004.

They talk about how Mojaves were going for $11,000 and how Spiders were going for $4,000. You can now get both for around $600 combined.
Think about how much that sucks for breeders who spent that much for these two morphs back in 04' to what they are now
Sure some big name breeders might have made some money, but who could also put up that kind of money and time!! Think about how many people though lost a ton of money who couldn't sell the offspring right away!
Selling BP's as your only source of income is a hard life I'm sure. You will probably have your good months but more often than not you will have more bad months. Especially if all you have is the Norm... (Pastels, Spiders, Pinstripes, etc.....)
You will need to drop a few thousand dollars to get yourself 1 amazing morph, then try to get it to breed, then hope to god the price doesn't drop before you can sell off the offspring all the while keeping some holdbacks to continue your bizz. But then your looking at another 2 to 3 years to do it all over again......
