prices vs. age

Dose the price of a BP go up as it ages? This sounds like a stupid question I know, but I'm confused.

I saw an add on KS for a late 06 normal male when he first came out. Same snake poped up on KS (I saved the photo fron the past post for Sculpting ref) some time last week for 3 times the price he was going for in the first ad.

Is this normal? I have been seeing this price raise quite a bit. I figred the price would go up if it was a breeder, but I guess not.

Typically, the older the snake the more money it will cost....

This especially goes for females as they take longer to mature than a male does.....So an 8 month old female will run more then a 2 month old female....

If someone buys a ready to breed female, they didnt have to raise that snake, feed that snake, spend there time and energy on that snake, etc... So of course an older snake will run more money...

Not a stupid question...the only stupid question is the one not asked ;)

As for normal males, the price will barely go up. As for het, co-dom, and dom males the price will go up. Het males usually don't go up a ton.

ok that as all I really wanted to know. thanks
