I don't think it is any secret that the Ball Python market is grossly over-saturated. I never thought I'd see the day that a high white pied of any gender would sell for just $200 but those are the moving prices right now.

I was told by another breeder that this sort of thing happens every few years. People get in to it to make money and over produce. Then they get frustrated and quit and those that weather the storm see price go back up.

Is that your experience as well?

But honestly, I am thinking of scaling back my breeding collection greatly. Right now, I am not even making enough to cover the rats. It used to be self sustaining but not anymore.
