Great thread!
How have most breeders taken the decrease in price but the increase in popularity? I wasn't around when THOSE prices were valid. I do remember spiders being $1000-1500, lessers being about $1800, pieds were around $5-6000. I can understand being bitter dropping $1500 on a spider and now selling them for $150. I can also see it being much easier to sell. There is a very small amount of people willing to spend $3000 on a single animal, much less $25000. On the other hand a lot of people are willing to spend $300-1000 on a single animal.
