Will the declining price of ball python morphs have any effect on the importation? For example, once pastels hit the $100 mark....why would someone buy a captive hatched normal at a pet store for $80 instead of buying a captive bred $100 pastel? I have seen pastels for sale in pet stores already....so it is quite a possibility down the road a little.

I have to agree with you on that. I choose the down the rode vote. As prices decline on morphs why would there even be a market to import for sale.
Now there is because of the cost factor. When that levels out or gets close then the demand won't be so high so there goes the supply. It is the whole supply/demand thing.
