With all of that said, all I am saying is do your best to support the guys that help to stabilize the market, as they will be helping you in the long run. Sometimes it may cost you a bit more, but I guarantee you will appreciate it in the future.

I take no offense at anything that was posted, but rest assured that I have been around long enough to have watched the drastic changes in the market, and never expect to make my money back in the first year. All I have ever expected out of an investment in a project is to make my money back over the LIFE of the project, which is a very attainable goal with the Ball Python Market, even in this day and age.
Tim, I hope I didn't come off as cynical in my response. I apologize if that's the way it sounded. I have trouble crafting warm sounding text.

Just imagine how much the value of a new sports car drops the second you drive it off the lot! That's gotta make you feel better about snakes depreciating, right!?
