I realise, but was conjecturing that autumn gloss would be lower in price simply because it's been around longer. I don't see any for sale, though. In my opinion, the prices are ridiculous. If a snake is healthy, it's just as good as any other. Raising prices of snakes with mutated genes is understandable up to a point. Because it takes chance and work to get there, but acting like an animal is the next new fad and everyone will have to have it just because it's new and then sticking an exclusive price tag on it like a celebrity-sponsored pair of shoes is beyond me.
The animals being discussed at these price points are not pets, they're investments. Of course a $50k snake is ridiculous...but no more ridiculous than Facebook at 64 bucks a share...

about the high prices....
you can think of it this way: its opposite to old rare non-living things that fetch high prices. like some really rare postage stamp or a baseball card. it used to be really common and low value, but it got less common over the years to the point of being expensive because its now really rare. until the item is so prohibitively expensive that only well-funded top collectors can buy it.
new BP morphs start out really rare and really expensive, and when a really low number is available, they are so prohibitively expensive that only the top breeders can afford it. and then they get more common, price goes down, more enter the market, and the new morph makes its way to medium-sized breeders and well-funded small hobby breeders and so on, until finally it reaches a reasonable price for a pet.
