Price drops

I raise and hand feed my baby ball pythons. Plus, with over 20 breeders, I only got two clutches this year. Plus, how many spiders are imported each year? Less than there are parrots. Plus, there are hundreds of times more people buying multiple ball python morphs than there are buying parrots. Plus, people who buy ball pythons will typically buy several to dozens to hundreds of ball pythons, where people who by parrots, might by 2-3, with a majority probably only having a single parrot.

What about the other reptiles that hold their value? What about the bottoming out prices on ball morphs typically being lower than cost?

dude birds need to be hand fed every 2 hours!
and those ppl buying hundreds are breeding them and selling them.
most ppl do not breed birds and those that do have way more than ball pythons. also its alot cheaper to feed and house a bp compared to a bird that wastes most of its food anyway.
oh yea and not to mention that some birds only have 2-4 eggs that might hatch
