Do you breed for money or fun?Originally Posted by jsmorphs2
Totally agree.
I think a lot of people selling at low prices don't plan on keeping any unsold animals so better to sell them at $150 and get rid of them than wait a few weeks/months to sell them for an appropriate price. It seems irresponsible to me. Look at pure breed dogs... everyone knows to find a good breeder and the "bargain hunters" go to back yard breeders for puppies of low quality. You may save $500 on an English Bulldog but what are you going to spend extra at the vet throughout its life. Not saying its exactly the same with BPs but personally I would rather spend more on a great looking morph than less on one thats "ok". There are just people out there that don't care if their pastel is browned out or bright yellow, and thats fine, you love your snake no matter what.
The best solution seems to be the one where breeders hold firm to there prices and the buyers who want great animals from a reputable breeder will eventually buy them. And a record of current FAIR MARKET VALUE would be extremely helpful too.
