But, everyone is saying the market if over-run with breeders. Hell, some are saying they make more $ on breeding mice & rats! Wouldn't that mean bp prices are, just a little, jacked up? How many people are producing (for example) Pieds? There's a ton of them, around. Yet they remain in the $1000 range. Fleecing, in my book.
Also, the current guy in the White House has everything to do with prices. Value of the dollar is going down the toilet. Plus, I'm pretty sure one can't purchase a snake with food stamps...
