The problem with that thinking is the Importers don;t get to pick and choose what they want to buy...They have to buy all the misc. animals to be offered the New Morphs...So without bringing in all the misc stuff (not just Balls) there would be less New One of a Kind Morphs offered up...Plus look at all those WC/CH babies that proving to be subtle Morphs!
If they didn't get imported here they would get sold somewhere else...Most likely for food and the skins...There are a lot of guys that feed their families trapping Snakes in Africa.
And it seems the Captive market is not keeping up with the demand...Do you think Importers are bringing this stuff in and not selling it???
