    They may reach that price eventually, but it will take awhile. That is about the price that albino burmese go for right now, but they have been around six years longer and produce in MUCH larger numbers. Maybe ten years from know I could imagine buying an albino ball for $200.

    I hope never...I'm not in such a hurry for morph prices to drop. As I have said before and still believe, some things aren't meant to be owned by everyone. Just because it exists doesn't mean the price has to drop down to where its affordable for the masses.

    I hope their prices don't drop at all. Actually it would be nice if the prices went back up. Sadly I don't see that happening. :(

    I agree...this is the unfortunate problem that Yellow Belly's have...they have become very cheap. They have so much potential it is sad to see them becoming a mass market level Ball.

    I agree about the Yellow bellys and the albinos, Ybs are big. Too bad spiders are doin it too. I bet Bumble bees are going to be where spiders are this time next year.

    The reason recessive stuff is more expensive is because you have that 1 in 4 chance of producing a morph. Also, it can't be produced by breeding an albino to normal or het albino to normal with just one year. Co-dom and dom prices drop so fast because you have that 1 in 2 chance of producing a morph and you can breed a single male to 6 or 7 females. I will low ball it and say all 6 females will lay 5 eggs a piece, that should statistically leave you with 15 morphs. I don't see bumblebees and other mixes dropping that fast because you still only have that 1 in 4 chance of producing one.

    agreed. Any recessive morph will always hold their prices longer than a dom/co-dom morph. Same thing with the combo morphs, as they are a lot harder to come by
