Where is the morph market heading?

[MattZ BallZ]

my take on this entire ball python breeding problem, is if your in it for the money, you shouldnt have started. It should be because you love the animal and enjoy herping and watching your herps grow. if you ask me i think the big breeders will go out of business first due to over breeding, and due to their huge over head. remember that these breeders are feeding 100's sometimes 1000's of snakes and what the rat prices are right now its amazing how they are staying in business. i big blow for big breeders are the seasons where its too cold to deliver that snake and they must house and feed all these babies untill weather gets back to shipping temps. even those snakes that are on a payment plan till better warmer months the breeder looses money because those snakes gotta eat and they feeding them out of their pockets so a $300 spider would end up costing i big breeder $100 more per animal, lets say and thats heating, bedding, and food, but they only sold it for $300 they are really not making too much money in my opinion but then they do sell in quantity. what im trying to say is for example i have 23 ready to breed balls, i have a room just for them not to brag but they are the more expensive morphs and some just normals and low end morphs but when i breed a spider to a pastel and get a bumble bee i dont need to sell it for $1200 to make money and to help my collection since everything i make goes back to them, ill sell it for $500-600 pending on sex , or for instance I have a big ivory female i purchased for $2500 when she was 800g now shes 1500g and that does double her value and when i make ivories, im not gonna sell them for $1900-$2500 (these are canadian prices) ill sell for $1000- $1500 you know, one $1000 sale will feed my snakes for a year and thats just grand, unlike the big guys that spend thousands a week to feed,and house. for those who breed their own rats still have to pay for food and bedding, and maintanace. so to make this long story longer lol i think big breeders will go out of the game first and small one will become more popular... if i had to choose to buy a snake from a breeder that lives on the other side of the country, id rather buy from one down the street.... ok im done cheers if this dosent make sence its 5am and im still on no sleep so please be gentle...
