Whats the deal with prices?

Let's take a SpinnerBlast for example. You could take 1 $1400 dollar Spinnerblast male and breed it to 1 normal female and get 6 different morphs out of 1 breeding. But, on the other hand you'd have to have a $300 Pinstripe , a $200 Spider and a $100 Pastel to breed to make less possible combinations of morphs. Thats why the more genes a single animal has the more value it has. It increases the possibilities and lowers the amount of other animals you need to produce similar results. (the dollar amounts i pulled out of thin air so don't take those amounts to heart)

I understand but some of the lower end morphs will take you years to make your money back if thats your intent. For instance a snow will run you a couple thousand dollars, say its a female, theres 3 years right there before you can see any return, then she pumps out normal double hets, probably not enough to break even on the snake, then another year to try again, your talking investing 2,000 for four years to see minimal return, you can double your money easier than that by investing in more tradition market situations so I'm just not understanding the high price. Especially on the 20,000 snakes. Who is buying these animals, they have to be sitting on them for years.
