Just curious. I have been perusing the Classifieds on other sites, and prices for many morphs are shockingly low as compared to those of even last year.
So why do you breed? Personally, I do it for the rewards of knowing that I caused some new snakes to enter this world. I am doing it so that I can sell to entry-level hobbyists and inform them on how to keep their new snakes, and light the fire within them. Or for being able to sell a quality captive-born-and-bred animal to someone who's been keeping them for years and wants an addition. And to keep a few.
I am going to be producing pastels and normale this year, as long as the eggs decide to hatch (almost there!) I am wondering how many people are just in it for the money out there. How many will unload their collections as prices for morphs drop.
Do you ever think that morph prices will level out to normal cbb prices?
I just love these snakes. The aspects of breeding, good and bad and heartbreaking and anxiety-causing, make me realize just what awesome animals they are. No matter what the prices are at their going rates, I will not stop keeping and maybe breeding them; I am not in it for the money.
