Itīs the same here in Germany.
Most people want to buy the cheapest of the morph and just wondering why they canīt sell their own babies from these cheap buyed snake...
Some asked me if Iīm stupid to pay 1650 € (round 2000 $) for my clown boy because the most clown males you get round about 1000 to 1200 € here. But look at him, then you will see the quality not the quantity!
But explain this to an hobbyist who want to make the fast dollar
And then just wonder why the prices of each morph go down to a normal price

Just my 2 cent
