No, I'm not. Lets just have a fun discussion and be adults about it.

I myself purchased a very nice high contrast albino from a breeder that came highly referred by a source I trust. I paid in the higher range and could have very easily paid 30% less BUT I know this animal will keep it's color(all albinos look nicer as babies) and I know exactly where the bloodline came from. I felt it was a better long term investment. I also bought a mojave and a butter from people I have a rapport with and feel comfortable with those purchases as well. Everyone wants a good price, which is fine, but I also want to feel comfortable with the people I am dealing with. I feel i got that, I got good deals from people I know and a high quality animal from someone I don't but came highly referred. Basically my source said this is the only guy you should buy an albino from here(Daytona) and I went with the recomendation. Trust comes first and price second. At least that's what let's me sleep at night. :sweeet:

Would this be the same albino you lost? :(

There's that! :rockon:

I think the prices at Daytona are exactly what all of the pro's in the business expected them to be ... if you're in the know, it's really no big deal … this is just how it’s been year after year for a long time now ... if you're not in the know then it may or may not have been surprising, depending on what your expectations are or were … new people to the business or “breeders” with very little experience are usually caught off guard by Daytona prices.

For me, I feel that right now is an AMAZING time for everyone that is passionate about ball pythons ... there are breeders big and small selling quality animals at prices that people can afford. Heck, back when I started buying ball python mutations I was paying 10, 20, and 30 thousand dollars for animals ... today, anyone can afford them.

If you're a buyer, a world of possibilities is now open for you ... if you're a breeder, your potential number of customers excited about buying animals from you is growing by an order of magnitude week after week.

I'm excited to see where we go from here ... if you're into ball pythons as much as I am, I’m sure you realize that the future is going to be absolutely AMAZING!

Lost as in passed away, the one you told us about at the show. Didn't know if that was the one you were referring too.

That animal was purchased years ago(Not at Daytona). This thread is referring to prices at Daytona this year(a couple of days ago).

Come on Daniel your a college boy, your supposed to have good comprehension skills :D.

Sorry man, I got all confizzled... :( :(

Didn't know that the story you told above was referring to this Daytona. Ya, I suck, I know, lol.

On a quick side note, took at a look at your site, that Red BD you got, I think it's name is Rokk, is stunning man! Gorgeous BD! Coolest one I have seen. And your orchids have some amazing coloring as well. :rockon:
