No one knows how much hatchlings will sell for. They could go quickly, or they could sit - you're asking us to predict next year's market. Right now a lot of money is chasing boas and retics in lieu of other snake species, mainly due to them potentially being added to the Lacy Act in the near future, which is something that I doubt many breeders considered last year when deciding what to produce for this year. I've seen BP prices drop over the last few years, but the drops in the past few months are crazy.

As for a male, if you want to try a breeding loan I'd find someone with a visual pied + another gene. Think enchi pied, black pastel pied, etc. Then find out if that person is reputable. Then work out a contract.

Or you could just buy a male and do everything yourself.
