call us what you want..........but we stick together around here. We gladly accept anybody that comes to this site or joins. Like i said earlier, 900$ pieds are not the norm. If you feel you have a good deal, and your comfortable with the seller! More Power to You! Thats great. But nobody belittled you! We tried to help you! This is a Forum of friends, and fellow reptile enthusiast. Would you like us to just let you fall into a trap. Like you stated you don't care about money! Fine! So now it's on you. But how can you not see that we were trying to help you, not belittle you. If you can't see the difference your blind!

Enjoy yourself at fauna! Sell your 900$ pieds there in the spring! I'm sure that will go over great, with that wonderful group!

Im sure if you read the post you will see the underlying sarcasm like the jay-z , and the wire refrence, its just unneeded.

Personally I don't want the price of pieds to dip that low. Pieds are my favorite and I kind of like the idea of having to work for them, either by buying possible hets or actual hets and breeding them in hopes of producing my own, or saving up the 2000+ and buy one. Its what makes this hobby fun and exciting. If you sell morphs like the pied for 900 or even less afterwards, this hobby will slowly die because everyone has everything and is producing the same things.

I bought myself a het pied for $75 and a normal female for $40. I hope to produce my own pieds someday or save up the money to buy a really nice low-white pied. That is the beauty of it. You work so hard and save up for a goal. I don't want this hobby being like a candy store and you can just go in and pick and choose what you want for a small price. Where is the fun in that?

I read somewhere on markus jayne that said with just the core snakes that exist right now there are still hundred of thousands of combos. Though most of which result in white snakes. LOL:snake:

Right on! Well said!! :D

There are countless possibilities for this hobby, but just being able to go out and get whatever you want, whenever you want just makes this hobby lose its magic, so to speak.

I like not being able to get everything I want right now. I like having something to look forward to.

understandably. I respect what you are saying, but then again it will end up a corn snake market eventually. I saw a pastel breeder package of a male and 4 normal females for 599$ shipped. I remember a few years back when I wanted a pastel they were like 600$ by them selfs.

So you see the problem, feel the pain of the current situation, yet you choose to be a part of it?

Yes, and buying and selling ball pythons at such low prices, you will contribute to the fall of this hobby.

it's not the downfall of the hobby
it might be the downfall of the *business*
