    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I wanted to know in truth, how many of you are breeding morphs vs normals (dose anyone really breed normals)? If so how often do you end holding back snakes you would really rather sell, especially het males?

I do not breed ball pythons at all, however I do buy, and do sell them. I will also buy and sell morphs. But I do not deal in any way with hets. Hets are more trouble to me, as to having trust in the breeders/traders. If I sell ball pythons they are either normals or morphs. I also try to buy only CBBs. This is just my opinion.

I do sell between 50-75 each year. But I do not breed them at all.
 
market watch.

really not hard to sell any bp,has to be priced right thought.the bp market is very,very competitive.the demand for morphs is strong.hard to sell low end het.males at any price(het.albino).the future looks good for ball pythons,even thought the people that are in it just for the money are dropping like flys.i like to look at that as a cleansing of the hobby. :cool:
