I was in a local pet store the other day....they sold a CH normal ball python for $70 while I was in there. I talked to the owner and she said that they had sold 4 that DAY....and always have people coming in wanting one...at least a few a week.....I live in a city with around 20,000 people and there is that kinda demand.

I also see ads on the classifieds all the time for very nice normal ball pythons selling for $200-$400....reduceds, high golds, blushes, ringers, etc...

I have talked to a few snake keepers and people interested in ball pythons that do not even know that ball python morphs exist....these people have no idea what a pastel, a mojave, or a caramel is....and when they find out about them they all want one...

Normal Ball pythons are HOT!!!! Ball python Morphs are HOT!!!

....that really got me thinking about the size of the ball python industry. All the people that talk about the industry falling have no grasp of the scale of the ball python market. Tens of thousands of ball pythons are sold EACH year. I would not be surprised if there are over a hundred thousand people in this country that keep ball pythons. A few thousand people on the internet that talk about ball pythons are a very very very small part of the actual industry.

What will happen when more reptile keepers and people interested in keeping snakes realize that ball python morphs actually exist. I can almost imagine the demand for ball pythons....it would be more than anyone could imagine.

LMAO....All we need is for Ralph Davis or any other 'big breeder' to do a TV show about ball python morphs on Animal planet, Discovery, or National Geographic...we would all have to get on waiting lists to purchase any morphs...

What do you all think?
