I'm just getting at if they are purchased by people who aren't going to take care of them.
I knew a guy who insisted that his ball pythons would be fine with 4 in a 20 gallon tall. He found a caramel for cheap and had that in there too, the snakes all died of respiratory problems and he never bothered taking them to the vet. Why did he do this? He got them for cheap.
As far as the normals go, people seem to consider them as undesired results of breeding and many could care less who they sell them to. It's wrong, but it's what happens.
Nope prices had nothing to do with it HE WAS AN IDIOT!!!
