prices will always be less at the end of the season. there is more supply than demand. prices will drop as supply increases. i bought an albino male 2 years ago for 300 dollars online and it was one of the best high contrast albino i ever seen. at our local show in april of this year there was pastel lessers for 300. and they were so faded they looked like super pastel lessers.
price and quality dont go hand in hand as much as people try and make it out to be. it actually makes me mad when im looking through the classifieds and see people asking outrageous amounts for low quality animals just because "they " think they are worth it. you can get great quality for cheap and low quality for high prices.
big breeders charge more because they have more expenses. i know i dont have a 20,000 sq ft building to heat, or 10,000 snakes to feed. no retail store to operate or employees to pay. no taxes, unemployment or benefits to pay. they dont charge more because they have higher quality, they charge more to stay afloat.
