Ball pythons morphs depreciate hard, especially single genes.
Thst said, people crowd sourcing can use it for whatever they want, people can donate or not, but the truth is people asking for things that are 'wants' (honeymoons, weddings... Snakes) has made many people less likely to believe or donate in other situations that are things like medical bills, funeral expenses, or saving the house. I see convos about that in other forums all the time and it boils down to getting sick of seeing hands out everywhere and becoming irritated with the whole concept. When they had and have donated in the past.
