i breed tropical first also and i have giving away plenty of offdpring to people that cant afford,i would give away a snake in a heartbeat to someone that would appreciate it.
i also would probably pay over market value for a snake i like,but does that mean there is a market in my area for that certain morph(no!)as i said before it depends on the market in your area,the petsmarts around here dont get balls because the dont sell,my local petstore still has the same normal juvies they haf for a while,an a few local breeders have had the same snakes advertise for a long time.
dont get me wrong if your area alllows you to charge higher prices,the by all means make your money,but any business has to adjust their market
