I know a very big breeder, he breeds a lot of things and he actually makes more money off 20 to 40 dollar corn snakes/rat/king and milk snakes. It's about quantity, not quality with most people. If someone can buy 20 corns for 15 dollars each and sell them for 25 later they will over one or two jags and make little profit margin. There is a market for nice animals, but the breeder has to know he can unload them. If he keeps them a year he loses more money than intended on feed and cage space.
