can't wait to read that Aaron
should be interesting.. I tried to figure out what I could a while back by reading everything I could find and just lost interest.. never even bothered getting a banana.
one big post i read , mentioned the sex thing to be completely bogus, the first ones to invest in the project held back all the males stating only females were being produced.. then when the time came to sell, in order to control the prices, only baby females would be sold !! this would give them a good 3 years to get their $$ back and combos breeding.
some invested loads of $$ 20-30-50K with a promiss of babies selling at 12K++ that went from 12-10-7500-5-2500-1000-450-200 in a verry short period.
by the time the first group of people that got suckered into investing, combos of all morphs stated hiting the market and shows..
the banana incident IMO showed how the game is played to many and harmed the market value for everyone that want to invest in new projects . too many got burnt financially.. most now will just wait 1 year or 2 before buying the new flavor on the block..
the big hoorah of selling morphs for even 1000$ is gone even in the 500$ range, 3 and 4 genes snakes have a hard time getting that now.. well for ball pythons anyways.. some of the harder to breed and rare snakes still have good value, but Ball pythons ??? people get what they can out of them..
nice snake non the less
and you got one in the right time, had you wanted one 2-3 years ago you'd most likely be miffed..
