Wow great pick up. Co/dom stuff tends to decline quickly however a lot of breeders still try and maintain a little better decline rate. 350.00 is a steal mind if I ask who you got it from??? And yea pics are a must around here. :rockon:

Congrats, cant wait to see the pictures.

YES it sucks co-doms go down so fast. I just purchased a pair of mojaves for very cheap and by the time I produce babies the prices for mojaves will be the same as pastels. I will just be looking foward to Blue eyed lucys and crystal balls in the future. By the way congrats, cant wait to see pics. I will post my new babies as soon as I get mines tuesday

Congrats on the new addition! :)

I want to see!!! and 350$ shoulda bought two :P

Dominant morphs tend to hold value though...is that because they are the key to make super cool morphs....the spider hasnt failed once that I know of.

I remember when spiders with well above the $15,000 mark ... I paid $10,000 for my first spider many many years ago. It doesn't matter the type of mutation or how its made, it's all about supply vs. demand. When there were only but a few spiders available on the market, the price was high ... now that they have made their way into the hands of the average hobbyist that is breeding for pleasure, the price has come down to a very affordable level.

in what world?



i know this isn't contributing much... oh well

to me it seems like recessive morph hold their value more.

This thread needs some pics! I buy an animal because I like it and not what the future value will be?. I will probably being adding some mojaves this year because they are affordable but mostly because of the great combinations with other co-doms. Still alone they are a beautiful morph. Congrats and let's see the pics!
