I think they are beautiful. I think those that invested did real well. I don't like to put down others interest in snakes as everyone has a right to enjoy what they like with out impudment
. There is nothing wrong with Ball pythons and i don't hate. Maybe jealous of the money being made by investing in them. But otherwise they really are like pet rocks. No personality, no movement. It is like they exist on life-support machine. The heart beats but nobody is home.
The personality and the fact they used to be the garbage junk snakes of the snake worl not to long ago. I used to import them in april every year (fresh hatched babies from africa) for $4. each. Sold them for $20. at local shows and flea markets in the early 90's. There were clowns, anerys and other weird morphs in theose shipments but knowbody cared more than anyone cares now about water snakes morphs.
Anyway rant is over. I think everybody that invested in them came out smelling like roses. But I just had to stay faithful to my first love. AND THAT IS SNAKES LIKE COLUBRIDS AND BOAS. I jusy could'nt warm up to the Ball pythons and still don't. I stayed faithful and TRUE to MYSELF until the bitter end while everyone is making out like pirates on these morphs I am actually enjoying and proud of what i actually like a snake for..
