The future looks fantastic. I'm in my third year now, and have produced more animals than ever, and they're selling. They're selling faster than they did last year.

I think that the collection sales are all about the economy--if you notice, most of the collections are TINY--sometimes just a few pets, lol. People are moving a lot, sometimes into places where they cannot have pets. People are experiencing economic problems, and need to get some extra money fast. It happens, but these tiny collections aren't really a reflection of the state of the ball python market. When's the last time you saw a collection of 100 plus animals for sale?

I was pleased to notice that the price drop this year was not as extreme as it was last year. (If you think people are howling over prices now, you should have heard them then). I would say things are most definitely getting better.

And I will be the next BHB, darnit. ;D
