I think people use the term investment, when they should be using the word speculation.



Bottom line, if you have a good job, and have some extra spending money/tax return/inheritance, and just want to have some fun, Balls are for you. Buy what you like, look at them daily like I do, and try to breed them to make your money back and maybe money for a nice vacation. My goal is to make back my initial monitary input, and then some, each year trying to have my hobby pay for itself, and pay some bills off, or take a vacation.



If you are unemployed, and want to borrow $20K from your parents, promising to pay them back when you make your millions in Ball Pythons, I think you may end up dissapointed and with some pissed off parents.



The key: Do not have unrealistic expectations, especially in your first year, buy females first, you can ad males later the following year, do not put Balls on your CC or take out loans to get them. Other than that, go for it!
