I am looking at it from both sides. As a buyer, things are "better" because morphs are getting cheaper. When I first got into ball pythons (a little over 2 years ago), an albino male was $1000 for a nice one. Now, you can get a nice albino male for around $400. That's $600 less in less than 3 years! That is awesome since I want to get more morphs soon.

As a seller (hopefully this will be my first season that I am actually going to be selling hatchlings), this is bad because I will be lucky if I sell any snakes I produce this season, especially since I am not a breeder that is well known (I'm not known at all really). And I won't be able to sell the hatchlings for very much. When I purchased my male spider, he was $300. If I produce any male spiders this season, I can really only sell them for $200 or so. Prices keep going down.
