Are there any inexpensive ball lines if so what are they and whats the price range?

---The most inexpensive that I am aware of are pastels and albinos. Male pastels are around $1000 and albinos around $2000.

Is the market doing well for normal balls?

---Great for female normals. You'd have much difficulty in moving hatchling males unless you virtually give them away.

Are normals being used for anything besides normal projects?

---Normal females are particularly useful in projects involving co-dominant morphs such as pastels, mojave, etc... This is why it's hard to sell normal males for anything other than pets - and the pet stores are loaded with imports that were purchased for next to nothing.

I want to get into balls but if its only for the rich then I cant get in.

---Well, right now it's not necessarily for the rich, but for those who are willing to take a risk. You can't make money in this endeavor without spending it. The longer you wait for the price to drop, the less will be the profit potential. I don't know your economic position... however, if you have the fortitude and forward thinking to begin saving now, then you could start a respectable small breeding project in the near future that could potentially return several times the initial investment. If you're going to be breeding snakes anyway, then might as well have a prospect to make a little money too (that's the way I see it).
