if im hatching 200+eggs and have nice snakes or better looking ones then the next guy and sold them for cheaper i dont get it why its a problem.
I think you will find in general when you sell animals at a price that is very low by current market averages some people will be upset because they see these “lowball” prices as something that helps to drive down the price of whatever morph. And many people have invested substantial funds into projects that as the price of these morphs continue to fall will never have the returns they anticipated getting. And I can certainly see why they would be upset by that. I on the other hand see another side of the coin. The more affordable these animals become the more appeal they will have to a larger audience. Yes like any rare sparkly pretty thing $20000 ball pythons have a line up of people that want them. Trouble is, how many of them have 20k at all let alone that kind of money they are willing to lay down on 1 snake. I know I don’t. At the end of the day those animals you produce are yours and you can sell them for whatever you want. So figure out what you think they’re worth and then set your price. At the end of the day everybody else’s opinion is just that; an opinion.
