No it won't. Recessive genes do not go down by much every year, they do go down, but they aren't dropping a third of the cost like other snakes are.

LOL, I am not saying you pay yourself for working on a hobby. All I am saying is when you are figuring the cost of making your own feeder, the huge amount of time that goes into it has to be figured into that cost.

Really?! Explain that to the thousands of newer keepers who when asked what morph they want to get would answer "spider"... Often times because the only morph a new bee has even heard of is a spider... The amount of people who want spiders is as high as ever.... people just don't want to pay for it.

I can't believe such a simple concept like supply and demand is hard to grasp. Morphs only hold their price as long as they are limited in number. I only have one normal now and when I got him I went online and checked out the morphs, the only easily available then were albinos, spiders and pastels. Pretty high prices still. Even then it was evident they were going to drop and I've waited them out as I'm not a breeder, just a pet owner. I can wait.

The breeders are screwing themselves, people paying thousands for morphs are only doing so to breed more and make money off them. You want to complain that prices drop? Who made you pay that much in the first place? I'm curious to see how many small time breeders drop out entirely as the prices continue to go down. Also you can't act like higher prices=better care because that's complete bs. I don't see anyone raising prices on normals to ensure they get good homes or even caring where the snakes go as long as cash is in hand.

I have a simple question cause I've never understood this..

If the demand is up the supply is up and the price is down.. right??
So when demand is down then supply goes down.. does the price go back up???

Also if the demand is up but supply is down the price is up.

So I've never understood why when the supply meets demand the price doesn't hold..

I mean we talk like there are breeder not able to sale their spiders cause there's just to many of them so they drop the price..
But to my knowledge breeders are having a hard time making enough of the base stuff to keep all their customers buying..

So that sounds like demand is up and supply is down but hold on...the price is down.. Now I'm confused cause that does hold true to the supply and demand model..
