But how exactly are you "seeing" how many are being sold? If you see one sold, then it's likely more have been sold you're never going to know about.

And I know you're not going to get 10 perfect eggs, that was for the numbers. No one is going to have 50 of one morph females to breed either, right? It was to show the same number in a perfect world to get the same amount.

And even if it's selling 2 at a super high price, vs 20 at a much lower price, it's still the same overall in the math. Less work, less maintanence and marketing.

Not all the super high prices will be only from the "super-breeders" passing animals back and forth. There's a lot of animals that surprisingly will be shipped overseas or some small hobby person who must have THAT animal and has the disposable income(or something to trade). And I do count trades same as cash as far as value. It doesn't matter if it's $10K in cash, other snakes, or a restored vintage car. It's still the value equivalent.

There's always another side in a discussion. Just proposing some of the others in this one.
