What do you think will happen to the....

hobby. I was wondering what everyone thought would happen to the boa breeding and collecting hobby in about 10 or so years. I mean it has gone through a big explosion lately and I am worried in about 10 or so years it won't be as enjoyable. Don't get me wrong I will still have my collection and breeding and everything but I am wondering what will happen. I kinda worry that it will be like ball pythons and we will get to a point where we have gotten all the morphs we are really going to get so from then on if one or two animals look slightly different we give them a completley different name. I don't know I am also slightly worried that in 10 years when I finally breed what I am wanting, it wont be worth as much. I understand prices drop and that wont keep me from breeding because I think it will be fun I just am wondering kinda outloud I guess. I am just wondering where everyone thinks we will be in about 10 years. I would love some input.

Look down a couple posts and you will see Salmon Jungle Arabesques! Again a new morph and same with the Moonglow this year and whatever else has or will pop up this year...

We have only breached the tip of the iceberg as far as Boa morphs go and we still have yet to produce many more crosses and breedings. I think you may a valid point once you walk into petco and can buy a Moonglow for $200 but until then I still think you have not seen the big picture and are out of your mind.

Peter K's animals are amazing, DUDE.
We are small in comp. to Ball P.
But we will have to go another 20 yrs.
Hope NOT.
Before we are there.
Too much bull going on with Balls in my opinion anyway.
Thanks,
