You don't see too many triple gene recessive ball pythons around because the statistical odds of producing one are low.
The higher end ball pythons are easier to sell because there is less availability.
More attractive looking snakes can command more money purely on aesthetics.
Along the way of producing recessives-normally you also produce a significant number of Heterozygous specimens.
People don't want to buy Hets or Possible Hets from a breeder that is not well-known...they are taking a risk spending the time/energy to raise a snake that may not have the genes they want.
If you are just starting out breeding and your collection is aligned to have a high chance of producing triple recessives by 2026--then I imagine you would have spent enough money on your original breeders to make the cost vs. gains ratio questionable at best-even if you sell one for thousands of dollars.
Anyhow, my two cents...
