it is just all in how you look at things.



It is really amazing if you think about it, that albinos are still selling for $400-500 each considering how long they have been around and how many there are.



when they get down to $100-200 each breeders will be able to quickly sell large volume of albinos into the pet trade which is a very good thing for many of us. We already have spiders, pastels, pinstripes, hypos and others in the pet trade and people who want a cool pet with no intention of breeding are that next big level of consumers to sell to. To sell to them the animals have to be $100-300 at the pet store. Once albino balls hit pet shops at that lower price range they will sell very well and demand will remain good, just at a lower price.



it is great to talk about the cutting edge project animals out there but the reality is you can count the buyers for those animals on one or both hands. when you produce volume of more common morphs that are more at the average consumers price level you will add a ton of people to the ball python keepers in the world and you will quickly sell your albinos or whatever morph it is.



when the economy changes you have to change to fit the new reality or you become a dinosaur.
