Yes,
Today's customers are tomorrow's competitors... Even today's competitors. Breeders know that. It is probably the only reason they were ever successful. The number of people spending more than $250 for ball pythons would be pitifully low if not for the potential, and even expectation, that they will raise up these beautiful animals and eventually sell the offspring to justify the extravagance of the original purchase. Big breeders will need to continue bringing cutting edge morphs to the market to continue to be successful or adjust their business model to become a volume producer of common morphs for the pet industry. If I still had all of the breeding females I ever owned, I would be producing hundreds of hatchlings every year, but that's not what I enjoy. I regularly sell off my proven females (and males) as more of my visuals and combo's get up to size.
