    Re: Why We Are Idiots For Using Kingsnake.com To Price Our Animals

    I completely agree with the article, I've been thinking about that same scenario for years, and I'm glad to see a website like this coming along so I don't have to do it myself. I think I've said that before. Great job, guy!

    So with cbb yearling normals being about $20-$50, you're saying they were overpriced at $100, even though it costs at least $150 in food alone to care for that baby for that year? A pastel was over priced when they cost more than $100, even though the breeder paid $800 for the parents, and $$50-$100 just to hatch the eggs and feed the babies for a few months? The demand is substantially higher than we price our animals at, and kingsnake.com is the reason for it.
