Good Morph To Invest In

[BPavery]

I'm looking for a dominant or co-dom morph that is a good investment for future breeding. Any suggestions? I was thinking champagne or lace black back.

Spoiler alert - this reply is going to be fun!

Someone recently posted the following advice, and I absolutely believe that it applies to your question.

"Don't worry too much. This can suck the joy out of owning a Ball Python."

• Invest in morphs that are enjoyable for you! You'll worry yourself crazy thinking about returns early on.

"Have fun! That's the reason you got a BP isn't it? "

• Enjoy your animals and let the money take care of itself.

Thanks for the advice! Ha ha! I guess the morphs I like the most have lesser or pastel in it. I would love to breed my Pastel male to a Lesser female. I think pastel lessers look great! I also like bee stuff.

I agree with both of these choices. My first BP purchase was my Butter Pastel (sort of pastel lesser) female. And, I have a Spinner Blast in my small collection - bee with a little something extra.

I saw a spinner female about a year ago on Kingsnake. $195! I think that's a steal! I was thinking about buying her and hatching some spinner blasts. I love that morph.

First, Reptiles are normally horrible investments, most of us lose money, but if you want to roll the dice. Investments are about what the market as a majority likes. What you enjoy might not be a good investment tho. I love deserts and would no doubt enjoy producing combos with them... I doubt your going to find anyone arguing they are a good investment. I wouldn't enjoy trying to move the offspring.

As far as dom/co-dom, personally I think banana is a good investment after the market finally got realistic with them. It is a morph most still want and super bananas are in demand. I also think leopards and orange dreams will have high demand for years to come. But, all I am doing is guessing.

Guessing is the only thing we can do. Who knows, maybe deserts will become as popular as pastels or spiders someday. I love them too! I didn't even realize the price drop on bananas. Under $1,000! I'll have to pick one up. Thanks for your help!

The trolls were the ones advertising 15k and selling for 3k....I saw quite a few get sold at the last show, seem to do better anything else near the same price point.
