Oh trust me no rain has fallen on my parade here. I have already gone through all these concerns with my husband educating him on snakes in general and GTP breeders and such.
It's not a matter of price, it is principle. If I thought a snake was worth $2000, I would pay $2000. I do not feel a normal non designer GTP is worth more than the price I already mentioned. I do not care the demand currently, I would never contribute to high price gouging. I'm not new to GTP for pricing so I am familiar with the market over the past 15 years. I simply refuse to be part of the problem of overpricing snakes that is rampant in this entire hobby and will do without or wait years before wasting one penny more than I feel something is worth just because someone is greedy. No offense intended to any breeder, that is simply my morals on this hobby and pet ownership in general.
