i was dissapointed to see your haitian boa thread deleted aswell. Are they being marketed, YES, but so have so many other species. Its the way it goes, and credit to the guys for trying. There KS ads do say that those adult animals got sold though, so will maybe it worked.
I believe there will soon be a market for rainbows, not just brazilians but also columbians. The columbians might look duller as adults, but there is a lot more morphs available (ok maybe not available, lets just say in private collections Rainbows seem to be the kind of snakes, that many many herpers keep, but not in large numbers.
To the original poster, IMO, carpets, hoggies and rainbows will see a good following. Plenty of base morphs to work with, and then just go from there.
I mean look at balls 10-15yrs ago, what was there? Pastels, albinos, pied etc, but not many morphs. Once the crowds got in on the action the market exploded, and once the money came in, more morphs were magically discovered!! I cant see why that wont happen in the other species i mentioned. Its happened in corns, then balls and so on.
IMO so many people want to be the first to produce something, but unless you have 100k to spend in balls its not really going to happen. Yeah some new stuff gets made by small breeders, but essentially its stuff thats already been made, just with a slighty different co dom. Spider vs woma vs pinstripe.
How long is it till the ball market gets like the corns, ie you buy a normal, the ends up being het for 6 different traits???
To the OP, buy what you like, and enjoy it for what it is. It seems every species have its own little niche morph market if you look hard enough.
