Has everyone forogt everything is about supply and demand? When i bought my animals in the past year i had to out bid other buyers just to get them (base morph males), sure some are great examples but when there 20 ppl asking to buy i had to bowl them over with money to get at them. Also when its down to odds on what pop out of the egg you cant just say here ive got a mojo x mojo so im getting alot of mojaves n BEL's then out of 5 eggs u get no bel, 2 mojo n 3 normal.... the lack of bel's on the market "that" year will determine their prices as well as how nice the animal looks. Sure in the near future some base morphs will drop in price and proby be all withing the 100-400$ range in about 10 years (everything but newly procuced base morphs) but thats because its hard to make alot of one base morph unless u are industrial at it or breeding that one morph exclusively.
5 gene animals look basiclly all the same to me not all but 85%. They always have lesser or butter or pastel in it, yay another yellow reduced pattern snake but hey now its worth 20k. No thanks you keep that animal ill buy bases thank you. Besides everyone keeps forgeting it takes a long long time to make a 5 gene animal so they wont be everywhere soon. 2 -3 gene animals are more varied in pattern and colour are easier to make and will still be worth 500-1500 in 10 years because unless u want to buy ur self a spider and a pastel to make yourself a bee (and have clutch mates on top of that) take 2 years waiting to breed and 1st year of breeding not get one, bet by then u really want a jigsaw tho. So in the end you will pay for the animal instead of making it unless your really into having your own collection. We pay for the breeders time they have invested in breeding and on what they get in the end, unless there is a major snake breeder in every town in North america or 50 smaller ones then id say dont worry about the prices falling and massive floods of hundreds of thousands of the same base morph on the market then your mojo will go from 350-500 to 50 bucks like a corn snake who have bigger # clutches.
Most people cant ID a 3 gene animal they produce let alone a 5. More then half of the big breeders ive seen on videos say this is cool could have this in it, then rambles off 5 names but still cant id it and these people are like jesus of the catholic church in our world and still dont know. But it still they all end up looking like a lesser pastel in the end.
