If Ball Pythons are fad, then how come they have ruled the Market for the past 10 years? If not longer. The past 5 years they have literally taken OVER. I started in Venomous, Leos, Beardeds, and other typical animals. But, it seems that no matter where you go, who you sell to, you are going to have *numerous, upon numerous* people come to you for Balls. And if you have been in the Business for more than 5 years, you know what I am talking about. I finally broke down and invested myself, they may not be *my personal favorites* BUT THEY SELL PERIOD. Compared to any animal in the Market place;



No reptile is imported more.

No reptile is breed more, by more people every year.

And no reptile has more sales.



It's plan and simple.



I understand you're wanting to find out the exact details of your animals so as not to be uniformed, but there is a good reason for some of the people to be frustrated (but not rude). So far of the animals I have seen you post, all are so normal you can find out the info. by simply looking at others posts, pics, and sites.



And the majority of people today who get into the BPs assume that anything slightly different *IS* some new morph, and that can be a cause of frustration among long time breeders. But I am not trying to say that them jumping you is right though. But anyone trying to rebutle by saying this is a fad, well I'm sorry, but on that *opinion*.......you are wrong.



An animal that RULES the market period is plan and simply not a fad......BUT A TREND.



Go luck with your animals, and I comend you on the health of you animals. Some people getting into the BPs only see the money, and as many say, you will *NOT* get rich by doing this, atleast not in the wallet. And people who are into it for the breeding and satisfaction of the experience, well you know who they are when they post their pics of their newborns, and while reading their post you can hear the smile on their face.
