Think about what the ball python business would be like if it was illegal to import ball pythons. If there were no more captive hatched or wild caught animals imported into the United States then the price would skyrocket for captive bred animals. This is simple supply and demand. Normals would sell for much higher than they do now. I had to sell normals for $20, and some less than that, last year. It really is not worth a breeder’s time to breed, feed, clean up, heat, and cage these animals over a two month period to sell them for $20.
