I agree with everything JodanOrNoDan except number 4, it's never too late to get into recessive combos that have been here a while, 1 because Pied is one of the most popular, 2 the advantage compare to the people that started like me 10 years ago you can get some multiple gene females and shoot higher for a more reasonable price. As much as I have a nice Pied collection now 10 years ago I started with a pair of hets.
As for the market in Europe there is a strong market in England and France with some amazing breeders, there are also a few good breeders in Belgium.
Bottom line find your niche market breed what YOU like and start working on your reputation today because pairing and producing snakes is only one part of the equation.
