Hi Colin, Thanks for the post. You have a lot of good points, but I don't think anything with pricing is going to change. People regardless of kingsnake will keep this trend of under-cutting the next guy.

The other day I was reading an old thread on KS about spider pricing from I believe 2006 and the poster was saying he didn't feel that spiders would still be an investment animal at $2500. After reading it I would be pretty mad if I paid $2500 for a female at that time.

I think there's too many people buying too many snakes and if they don't unload the offspring in the first few months drastically drop the price to just unload them.
