Why so obsessed?

I think co-doms are common now because people keep trying for those 12.5% odds, and in the meantime, keep popping out "just" pastels and spiders and whatever other co-dom/dom morphs you can think of. Everyone likes to think they'll hit the odds on their first try. How convenient would that be, right? But odds don't work that way.

But... I think people have the right to produce whatever snakes they want to produce, and sell them for whatever they want to sell them for, or give them away if that's what they want. If they aren't in it for the money, or they have the time/money/patience to keep trying to hit the odds jackpot, why should they care if they price above or below what Joe Blow Breeder has them at? They don't owe anyone anything.

The exotic market fluctuates constantly. Prices will never remain the same from day to day regardless of whether you're selling tarantulas, snakes, lizards, or freaking beetles. It's like any market - once something becomes common and available to the "general public" vs "guy who is richer than you," the person banking on selling to the rich guy gets butthurt because oh noes! Normal people can afford to buy the same product he's selling because he no longer has something rare, and how ever will he stay rich?!

That said, I haven't seen any pastels for $50. I didn't pay $50 for mine.....
