Oh it is for sure relative! Nothing in this hobby is set in stone. Well, maybe the FACT that ball pythons are awesomeOriginally Posted by bfirecat
I completely agree with the high end vs high quality difference. I haven't gotten my daily dose of caffeine yet
I can see why people categorize themselves or try to, but there are always outliers. I guess my answer for that would be categorize by the high end.
The "huge" price drop is relative I think. Is the price drop 30%? 50%? 90%? Regardless of the price drop, I think it is still possible to get some (at least a good amount) of your investment back.But there are people out there who absolutely loathe the ball python community. I can't understand it!
I don't really feel the need to categorize myself per say, but I think it is interesting to analyze these trends of breeders.
Over the last 5 years of owning and starting to breed, my tastes in morphs has changed greatly. Now that I have close to 30 ball pythons, I am starting to consider what will happen once these animals start producing for me. What is my next step? My Significant Other has thought about this much more than me as I am, at the moment, fixated on my first few clutches of eggs! I don't care what comes out as long as they are healthy! We have been tossing around the idea of making an investment on a very high end male (5k+) but that wouldn't be for another couple years..By that time, the animals we were originally looked at will probably have dropped down into an affordable price range. Thus removing the need to invest in that particular "high end"
