Omg I'm so glad you posted this! There have been a couple threads along these lines but a lot of people have been saying that it's just basic economics and that's what it's "supposed" to do. So I'm glad to hear that others are standing firm on their pricing because I am too! Just because it's economical doesn't mean it's necessarily right or should be supported. My animals lives are worth so much more to me than $10 or whatever dirt cheap price people think is "fair". It's just not right. And I also agree with if someone doesn't think that the asking price is fair and starts offering $10 - $50 for it, how in the world are you supposed to buy an enclosure, hides, substrate, water bowl, thermostat, heat pad, hydrometer, FOOD, and possible VET COSTS!! They are going to be keeping this animal for up to 30 years. That's 30 years of food and maintenance and if they are not willing to pay the couple hundred dollars that they are worth than idk how they expect to be able to pay for it's care. This aggravates me to no end and when I told people that it wasn't right and that I'm never going to sell my animals that cheap EVER I got reprimanded for it. I think it's pure insanity. So glad that other feel the way I do, and that some people see that the lives of there animals are worth so much more to them than a couple of lousy bucks!
