While the boa and ball market are only recently beginning to mature, I think the size of the market for boas and balls are considerably larger than burms and retics because, let's face it, most people out there, including seasoned keepers, don't have the resources/space/desire to own a 15-20ft, 150lb+ animal. Less demand = lower prices. Balls and boas are much more accessible to 'everyday' type people, and with a greater demand, the downward slope of the market to maturity isn't as steep.
