Negative no - realistic yes - this is my hobby not my business therefore I don't have to try to sell the "investment opportunity" like some people do. I'm not part of the pyramid, I don't care about the pyramid, I do what I do because I enjoy doing it. But I'm not stupid and I do have a business background -- I'm not interested in building an empire on ball pythons and am usually happy just to break even at tax time. But to be blunt it's irresponsible advice like "just buy a co-dom male and breed it to a bunch of normal females to make money" that made this market the mess it is today. Its the people that keep pushing that agenda even at this point to sell their low end co-doms that are making them worthless. So yes, there will always be a market for ball morphs - but when you've driven it down to where the average price of a high end multi morph ball is a thousand dollars it's going to take a lot of mass producing to keep some of these empires afloat - hope you have a lot of rack space.
