:repares for the heat::

(And I put ball breeders in quotes, because it doesnt apply those who are in it for the snakes themselfs) that there is a compleat misunderstanding of how the snake market works. Sure 2 years ago you could sell a fair male pastel for $1000-$1500 and a females for $2000 easy, but everyone and their mom saw that and hopped on the waggon. Now everyone has one and compition is high; so prices are low. This is how the story of co-dom genetics goes. Its agravating t ome and other people who care about the animals to hear people ing about how their snakes are junk, worthless, and not worth having anymore. You'll still make your money back selling $300 pastels. you'll even make a profit. Hell, sell you junk pastels to a petstore (because I guess nobody wants them anymore ;p ) for $150 and you'll still make your money back. There are more and more people getting into breeding every day, and every year there are more and more snakes being produced, and every season the market falls. I know this is a tired point and this subject has been beatten to death, but it still amazes me that people whine because they wont get rich off a $800 investment that they keep in a plastic box...

Anyways, if you MUST try to get rich quick, buy into recessive genetics...
