you seem really negative about things but there is really no reason. if you bought a male spider, pinstripe, pastel, lesser, mojave, butter, etc., today and bred it to a bunch of normal females this season you would still make money.
If you are at the top of the pyramid you can produce low numbers and do well. The further you get down the pyramid, the cheaper the animals get and you need to produce more of them to make as much money but regardless, if you produce you will make money. It is like any other investment, as the you get down to the lower investment, you get lower return on that investment. Risk vs. reward.
I have been breeding ball pythons a long time now. I really enjoy them. I think like Gariick, there are a lot of us who are sure there will be a future in the ball python market and I know he is growing his collection as I am and as most people in this business are. At the same time many smaller collections are being sold cheaply by people who are panicked, not by the ball market but by the economy or their job/home status. I think if you asked around right now you would hear from most people selling ball pythons that they are still selling.
It all just goes back to producing. No matter what you sell them for, you have to produce them. If you produce them you have equity. Wether you sell them quick and cheap, sit on them and hold out for more or use them to trade to upgrade your collection, they have made you money.
