i was thinking with all the morph out on the market right now, would it hurt some of the morph prices like the albino?

No, I dont think that it will hurt the recessive traits so much as it hurts the co-doms, I have been paying attention to ball python morphs for about 3 years, and the albinos have held their own, as far as value goes, they have stayed between $2000-$3000, and even though the co dom prices are dropping, more people will get interested, and the price will start to climb again,

...very few have gone UP...ghosts did a few years ago when the first hypo combos started appearing...Mojave females did for a time last year...granites did with the ebony...
...note that co-doms are produced at a much faster rate than recessive morphs, about what, 3 times faster in terms of # of animals over time...mainly because co-dom males can breed at ~1 year while with recessives it takes both a male and female and females more often than not require 2.5-3 years to produce...
...with co-doms (and recessives for that matter), it doesn't matter when you enter the market, with dedication you will succeed...
...recessives just have a longer and more stable market life...
GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!
