Anyone want to donate any ball python morphs?? Hehe i wish. Well i got my first clutch this year from a 100% het ghost to a normal, so maybe i can breed the father back to the daughters to get some ghosts in a couple years. Or hopefully i can save up for a female het ghost and get some sooner. I love the balls but its an expensive hobby.

You are right about that , I have decided to create all my own morphs thats why I only buy 100% hets now , it takes longer but it will save me a fortune and I will enjoy my hobby/buisness without going broke. I now spend the majority of money on vision racks once I get up to six vision racks than I will have the capcity to house more of the morphs that I plan on creating myself in the next 4 years. I love this hobby/buisness good luck and breeding.

The problem with that approach is prices keep frickin dropping.
I bought a pastel male a little less then a year ago. Hatchling. Paid $550 shipped for him. Now I see pastel males for $75 in the classifieds.
Not...cool.

you can get a pair of ghosts for around $300 / $400
ghost males in the $800 range
ghost females in the $1400 and up range
they are cheap enough

yellow and orange and green and butterscotch are all the same thing.......only different.....
they sell only females cause the price is for a female.....at like $300 a pair.......we just give you the male free....males aren't worth much.....

Wow, no dots, is Hell freezing over too
By the way, your $400 "pair" price would be for HET Ghosts, not Ghosts.

Ah, I think I am correct, but who really cares. Do some Ghosts look like Caramels as babies? Very nice snake! Let's do a Ember for Ghost trade this year, I know you want one

You should sell your 100% male this coming fall right when the beeding season starts. He will sell faster and for more money at that time.
In the mean time raise up his daughters and when your getting closer to the daughters from the first 100% male being of breeding age, you should buy another 100% male to breed to them.
This way you will:
A) Ensure new blood into the line.
B) You wont have to feed and care for the 100% male for 1 or 2 years and you can re-invest the money in something else during this time.
C) By the time you purchase the new male, prices will most likely fall and you will be saving money.
