Which morph would hold its value better in the long term?

[Mangiapane85]

As someone who looks to purchase new snakes regularly...

All i can say is that I personally will pay above market price for a truly quality animal. Significantly so if the animal is absolutely stunning.

Like I just checked MorphMarket for orange dreams. The single gene OD male I would take home was priced 50% higher than the cheapest ODs listed. Even higher than a few multi gene animals. That holds true for me for pretty much all the morphs.

Call my crazy, but I would happily drop a few hundred dollars even on a bumblebee - if it were a good one. Actually right now on morph market the bumble bee I would take home has a single other common gene and is priced at $650. I'd happily pay that.

I think a lot of snake buyers are like me in that way. Who wants a pastel that looks like a normal no matter how cheap it is?

I would think that if someone were looking for their collection to hold its value and be profitable, then the quality of the genes matter just as much as which genes you work with.

That's just my totally uneducated $0.02.

That's well said. Quality over quantity. And I personally prefer a great example 2 or 3 gene animal over all these fancy 6 gene snakes that you can't even tell what are.

Funnily enough whenever I see a picture of a ball python that makes my drop my jaw and go OMG. WANT. NEED... a good 7 or 8 times out of 10, it's a humble little pastave.

One day I will find the perfect pastave. And it WILL be mine.

I will be producing it. I'll keep ya posted. Lol... check out my "the collection" thread. My Pastel Enchi to my Mojave will bless me with some great Pastaves. They are both great examples.
