Anybody that thinks they are going to get rich breeding BPs is fooling themselves. There are plenty of guys making a good living at it, but I personally don't know anyone who has gotten rich (some were already rich) The truth is you have very little control over your investment. New morphs don't prove out, suspected co-doms/doms end up having no super or an unspectacular one or end up dominating every cross their mixed with (champagne), snakes die, snakes turn out to be sterile (or have other breeding problems, i.e. Desert females), and on and on. Animal breeding is more of a gamble and is a less sure way to wealth than the Stock Market.
At one time, I wanted to be the next Bob Clark or Pete Kahl, but when I got into it reality hit quickly. These days I just wait until the market sorts itself out and then buy what I want when I can afford it. This year I got a Genetic Stripe and a Champagne, dreams come true. In the future I'll get my Ghi and Highway at a price I can afford. These days I'm patient and just sit back and enjoy myself!
