What was the price of albino ball pythons a few years ago before everyone and their brother and sister were producing them? I remember seeing them in the 12 to 1,600 range. Not sure if they actually sold for that much. It's just how things go, when demand is high and supply is low you can charge a lot. Because of this people see an easy way to make money. However, a lot of people buy in on these and breed them; demand is much lower and supply is too high. Simple circle of almost every market.
