The really ironic thing is asthetically speaking, IMHO I think the normal BPs are the prettiest, with their delicate black, brown and cream markings. And then they have those adorable little faces... It's cool that there are many morphs to choose from, some of those morphs look pretty nice and I can understand the desire to breed them for profit. If people do it for the love of the animal, more power to them!



But people just looking for a nice monetary investment would probably do well to buy something that does not require feeding and can't keel over. Like gems or art or something. Especially given how many people are into the designer balls craze, how slowly they grow and breed, and how swift the depreciation is. They're an animal that can live over 40 years, and in 15 years, I suspect even leucistics will cost less than $500.
