Honestly, the other posters have given some wise words on buying a snake that you like rather then looking at prices... but hobbiest turned small businessman would tell you, to get into any Co-Dom morph early enough to make your money on them... eventually you should be able to recoup any money you spent on your original investment, but it takes years...

What I have seen with the market, and this is my own personal opionion is that the price of morphs are dropping at a pretty steady rate... I would recommend purchasing subadult ball pythons, as this will give you a year sooner to produce the morphs that you want... at least this will let you see how well of feeders they are, and what colors they should end up being... if you purchase a baby you wont really be able to tell if the snake is going to be a fast grower or a slow slow grower.... I have some 06 Pastel females hitting the 1400g range, and then I have 2 that are hitting the 700g range... by purchasing yearlings you can already see how the snake is growing, and how that will influence your breeding projects... so thats my rant...
