Ball Python Investment

DMVReptiles Dec 16, 2003 06:27 PM

What do you think is the best investment right now in the Ball Python industry? Albino Ball Pythons or Hypo/Ghost Ball Pythons?

If I had to choose, I would go with the ghosts, They seem to be mixed in with more morphs than the albinos.

Piebalds and or Striped Ball pythons. But then again Snows are a definite winner!
Check the classifieds for the PDHSnows!!!!!!

Because they are cheaper than albinos and albino prices seem to be dropping while ghost prices rose this year, I'd say a hypo will get you more return on less money. They seem to make more interesting combos than the albino. Except the snow ball, we've seen only the albino spider and that's a neat snake but just a pattern difference. I dont imagine the albino stripe, clown, pied etc will look all that much different/better than a normal albino- just differing amounts of yellow. With hypo you can add it to things like the super pastel to make a really faded snake with still some good contrasts. . . we haven't seen it yet but I bet the super pastel hypo will look 100x better than what an albino pastel would look like.

I'm biased, though. Never really liked the albinos, love my ghost!
