Investment Boas
Just wondering, what do you see as the best investment boas in the next 3, 5 and even 10 years? Not just on value, but market share as well?
What morphs do you see having the most potential? Not just BCI's, I want to brainstorm Argies, Hogs, Dums, etc?

I'm looking at a pair of 100% Hets for Albinos for $400 and a Male Hypo for $300.

Being your in USA, just about every boa morph is an investment with solid returns.

I've seen some Salmons for $500. But even it was a $400 snake, buy one male Salmon and 2 normal females for $700. Raise them up. Breed them. If you totally suck and only one goes and gives you 20 babies, then that's 10 Salmons, and 10 normals. 10x$100 for the normals gives you $1000 (STILL $300 MORE than your initial investment). And 10 Salmons x $400 gives you $4,000. That's $5,000 on a $700 investment. That's a 700% return!!! In a bank or even a savings bond, that $700 would take you over 150 years to get that kind of return.
People look. ZERO money can be made with even the MOST expensive morph out there if it doesn't breed. Yet, with the CHEAPEST morph, you can make a KILLING if it does breed. So what does that tell you? Concentrate more on actually breeding something than what the market is doing. You will ALWAYS make money if you can successfully breed your snakes. Always.

Dumerils and Hoggs fly off the shelf but Salmons and Anerys and even Albinos give a great return cash wise

Yep, what Chase said. Even if one thing isn't selling, another will. Variety is key. Its nice to specialize, but with more stuff, you'll have the security of always being able to move something out to fund the next project. Something is always selling at any given time.

i find that the people that always second and third guess themselves about the market, are always the people on the outside looking in. If you have the money to invest on investment reptiles, then do it. YOU WILL MAKE MONEY in the end.
Look at guys like Jeff Favelle and Mark Mandic, they jumped in with both feet, and I'm sure there are no complaints on their end LOL.
