    You have taken in 3 normal ball pythons off bad situations and people who didn't want them in a matter of months, now multiply that by all the people who think they should breed their pet snake (hint, it seems to be the majority). Take a look at craiglist, reptile rescues and any pet sale place, there's absolutely no shortage of snakes like balls and common boas out there but there is a huge shortage of owners that are going to properly care for them for up to 40 years. Ball python breeding is all about the morph game, at this point there's no market to bother breeding single gene morphs, much less normals and most breeders try not to produce them at all or wholesale them to pet stores. It's simple reality. Don't produce animals you aren't willing to keep for life because you won't make money off normal babies and you will have a hard time moving them at all if you want good homes.
