Mainbutter, I have looked at many ridiculous corn snake morphs for next to nothing. When BPs get that low I will have some insane projects to work on! I can't believe I am able to buy double gene animals for $350-500 these days! High or low prices, ball pythons are always welcome to make babies at my place. They are such an amazing species with an incredibly diverse selection of color and pattern, almost all having lap dog personalities. How could you give that up? If a four gene animal was only worth $50 I would have the most amazing colored and patterned animals on the block!

The same thing is happening with crested geckos. They are an amazing, easy to deal with species. Everyone wants them, supply and demand. All the prices seem to be gravitating downward toward $30 ridiculous morphs...

Even though corn snakes and leopard geckos have dropped tremendously in price many people still thrive to produce the best and latest. There always be people willing to buy them, and people will be happy to sell to them.

This thread is really interesting. I wish more breeders would voice their opinions on whether they find the lowered pricing to be beneficial or harmful to their business.
