The thing is, you can breed a ball python for many years. So you don't get your money back the first year it breeds, so what. You will make it back in a few years. Buying a lavender or something is a different story. It's putting all your eggs in one basket. No risk no reward though right?

The people that say it's just a hobby blah blah blah and then go out and buy 10 normal females really annoy me. If it's just a hobby then stop mass producing. You know what really grinds my gears, when I see a post like this:

Who cares about the money, it's just a hobby. I do this for the love of the snakes. I don't care if I never make a dime off this.

1.1 pastel
0.1 spider
1.0 cinnamon
1.100 normals

If it was just a hobby, no one would own more than one normal female unless they had some unique females.

The truth is, most of us would not have spent anywhere near the amount of money on snakes that we have if we didn't think we could make our money back.
