I personally wish more breeders would try to hold their prices rather than everyone trying to undercut the next guy. If everyone was trying to sell for the cheapest, everything would lose it's value so quick it would make the whole market for these wonderful animals crash and hurt the hobby. If you plan to breed and sell your own snakes, you should be happy people are making an effort to get the animals to hold their value. No body forces you to buy from them but everyone deserves to charge what they want, you as the buyer can choose if you think it's worth the price or not.

This, why would you be upset that big breeders are charging more? They could easily crash the market if they wanted and you can always buy from smaller breeders. I don’t understand the problem.
