Noone will pay more because a year old snake is 600 gr vs 300 gr. (example)
Not going to happen. Most people know there is WAY MORE then size to what matters in breeding. You still have to let them reach a certain age.
Not everything can be rushed and pushed to turn a profit faster.
What drives the price in morphs is not so much the weight , but the AGE. If you have a animal that is 2 or 3 years old and breed able (meaning large enough) that makes a difference.
If you have an animal that will be ready in one year, rather then two years, that makes a difference.
You can grow a BP to breedable age in 2 to 3 years, even at a slower pace. I see absolutely NO good in pushing an animal to reach that size in one year. If anything, you get an animal that will slugg out due to being fat or to immature (immature, despite size)
I would never, ever choose a breeder that changes their prices based on how big they grow their babies in a short amount of time. I expect to pay more for a proven female or one that will be ready (age + size) in a short time, but with hatchlings and yearlings (and breeders) there are far more important things I look for. Reputation, healthy animals that do well, honesty, etc..
But that is just me.
And we can have different opinions, nothing wrong with that
