This is certainly an option. However, consider that an unknown breeder will have extreme difficulty selling hets and possible hets of a simple recessive morph. Using the albino as an example (the same will apply to other simple recessive morphs once the price drops into the current range of albinos), the value of hets and possible hets will deviate more and more from the value of the homozygous morph. I expect female het albinos to drop to $300 before albinos drop to $1200, and at this point the het males aren't worth much more than imports. There are a lot more hets out there than actual albinos. Just to save the future small scale breeder some grief, I recommend gearing toward the production of as few hets as possible and NO possible hets (unless the morph is still very expensive). So a very small operation could have one or two albino females and a het male, or one albino male and several het females.

Just some food for thought.
