I did not read this entire post, but for the record I am going to sell my hatchling spiders males for $150 + shipping and females for $250 + shipping, which is close to what I sold them for last year. There are so many people producing spiders now that it is tough to sell them unless you drop your prices a bit. Also the price of a snake does not determine its quality. Some people sell better quality animals than for less that others sell lesser quality animals for more.
