sure, normals do have a part in this market, but i dont see how you can compete with the african breeding farms.
if based in the USA, how are you supposed to compete with a wholesale price of 7-10 dollars per hatchling? could you ever undercut that price? can you compete with a breeding farm that doesnt need rhodents or electricity? the BPs go out and hunt at night, and there is no reason to heat anything, and you can incubate in big buckets of wood shavings.
many farmers provide hiding places for the BPs to be safe during the day, and pull and incubate clutches, with the main purpose of fighting the rhodents on the farm. and when they have many rhodents and no financial trouble, they let all the hatchlings go free. and when the rhodents are properly under control and some extra money would be nice, they sell their hatchlings to a cooperative. i dont see how the western way of BP breeding, with tubs and thermostats and incubators and associated rhodent breeding, can compete with the african way of doing it.
the only advantage western breeders have is the morphs.
so, from a purely economic point of view, there seems to be no way to even come close to black numbers with normal to normal breedings. you cannot compete with the african farmer who actually makes a profit by occasionally selling a bag of hatchlings for 3-5 dollars per piece, and the african cooperative that actually makes a profit by exporting them in large shipments for 7-10 dollars per piece. of course there is a healthy wholesale market for normals hatchlings in the USA that you can easily tap into, but its pretty much stuck at around 20-25 dollars per piece.
so, no problem with breeding normal to normal, except that your wallet wont like it.
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
