I've looked into this... Short answer is that unless you are smarter than the smartest person I've ever met I would say no. I'm sure that there is some rainmaker person out there that could learn all the morphs in a sitting and then pick the perfect pairs based off of a billion variables and make a profit mega fast.
I haven't bred yet but I have spent some time crunching numbers. I've also researched a lot about snakes lately and the one thing that I seem to keep learning is how much more there is to learn. So there is also the learning aspect of it from the business side and from the actual snake expertise side of it. You need very good knowledge in both areas and that doesn't come over night and for some it will never come because of any number of reasons.
Define what you mean by profit also because some people could look at it different. If you tally every penny spent from day one until the day that your books are in the green then at a normal pace assuming you're not going at this like Donald Trump then year 4 would be where the curve starts to level out and maybe tip upwards (but I doubt it) but still in the red. That question actually hurts my brain so if you could elaborate more that would help. What male and what females are we talking about? Are you asking using the model 2 males and 4 females then which snakes would make the most ROI and how long would it take? What if one gets sick? What if the female lays duds? What if you get bad luck and hatch all normals? What if the quality isn't good and you can only sell locally on craigslist? Like I said too many variables and I'd still say no.
