Seems we get the weekly post about market and market crashing!

Those of you who see a crash in the near or distant future just don't understand ball python economics. Lets look at cornsnakes for a minute, the mutations started getting polular in the late 70's, yet some 25 years later, new cornsnake projects are still being created. Their polularity is still going strong, we are taking about a snake that can routinely lay up to 30+ eggs a clutch and double clutch on top of it.

Now ball pythons have quite a lower reproductive outcome. It takes years just to create a recessive double homo mutation and we've only tapped into a few recessive double homo projects, lets not even think of the triple homo project here. Throw in the dominant and co-dominant animals in the mix and we have ourselves some amazing crossing potential!

I say, nobody alive right now will see the day when all projects have been done, it is just mind blowing at what can and will be done, there is just so many combination possabilities.

In conclusion, take your market crash debates and burry them for good, it just won't happen.

Ball Pythons are and will continue to be the hottest genetic projects in the reptile hobby.

Anyone care to dance
