For a snake that produces few young like Ball pythons doesn't this mean someone investing in Balls today will never recoup their investment? In other words, the price will drop faster than the snakes can reproduce.
HUHHHH???? That doesn't make ANY sense at all!
Pastel males are $1,000 (for simplicity's sake) and normal females are $100. So say you buy a Pastel male and 10 females for $2,000 and they breed in 3 years. So say that Pastels are worth 40% in 3 years ($400 each). If you bred all 10 females, say 6 actually give you eggs, and say only 6 eggs each. That's 36 eggs. 18, on average, are supposed to be Pastels. Even at $400 each, that's $8,000!, and you STILL have the principal amount (the breeder animals).
How again do you figure that you won't make your money back? I'm confused.
