Ok i see what every1 sed earlier but i will only have 2 female albinos and 1 male which will make around 10 albino babies a year what i am asking is could i make at least a grand 10 years from now on thsoe babies....and to feed those 3 balls whuld be a lrage rat 4.00 every 2 weeks which is not alot at all also i would not have the babies that long so i wouldnt spend too much on them either...but basically i am asking if the albino balls will keep at least a 1k price 10 years from now...thanks again,
Jake

Albinos generally have small clutchs so you are looking at closer to 8 snakes if they breed. 10 years from now, who knows, albinos are holding at about $2000 and may for quite some time, yes, they may drop down to $1000, but probably not much lower than that. 10 years from now it could be illegal to own balls, you just never know.

0.0.2 Lizards rescued from pool skimmer

The future is uncertain indeed!

However, I think if you look at the retail prices for tropical birds and even pure bred dogs you can see hope for a stabilization price of a morph as stunning as albino as high as $1,000.

Most people do not know what their doing 2 weeks from now. Ball pythons like anything that sells in the market palce is a risk. 10 years from now no one could want them. Heck, 10 years from now they might be illegal to own.

Might want to set short term goals and worry about 10 years from now, 9 years from now.
