If your asking if ive spent 30k on a morph the answer is no way. The most i ever spent on a single animal was a male spider in 2002 for 14k which was a grwat deal considering they were averaging 18k for males back then. Now i made my money back and then some the following year. Then the crash happened. The market got flooded and the prices dropped like crazy by 2005. Now lets look at this in the big picture. As long as people are putting prices tags in the 20 to 40k price range it brings more intrest into the ball python industry. Therefore everyone benefits cause the more people that come into the industry the more markets stay stable from the low end to the mid range to the high end. Most people that get into the breeding and selling aspect of ball pythons start of small and grow a collection so these high prices help everyone. This trend brought alot of the boa guys over to the dark side as well as the high end retic guys.
