People are so worried about the legality of things that they fear free speech. I say feel free to talk about whatever you like.

Here is what reptile collusion would look like. Bob Clark, NERD, and Prehistoric Pets all sit down and decide that hypo burm hatchlings will only be offered at $999 and never sold below that price.

Do you know what would happen then? Someone else would come in and price their snakes lower and then the entire market would correct itself.

Collusion is almost impossible in the reptile trade. In order to really have collusion you have to be one of just a few people in the world capable of providing such a good or service. In the reptile trade almost anyone is capable of getting in and producing almost ANY animal.

I know what collusion is, and how difficult it would be in the reptile world. I have been around long enough to know that. Not to mention, it was tried before, and had a very nasty outcome. My point in the matter is that there is no set price for anything. While there used to be more stability in all of the reptile markets, now you price your reptiles based on how much they are worth to you.

You're about 10-15 years late on price sheets like you're asking for lol. Back in the day depending on the breeder you'd get a new price list every month or couple of months. That was pretty much your only way of finding animals and prices back then. With the net and so many people getting in and out every day there'd be no way to come up with something completely accurate.
