There isn't any money in normals? Then why have I sold three this year so far?Smart buyers will hold off on buying some CH pet store gambles. They'll get their normals from breeders they trust, that can trace the baby's life from the time its parents copulated.
The snakes you produce are technically yours to give away, keep for 25 years, or sell. That's the free market. If you are 100% sure that the givee knows how to care for a snake and has all of the right tools, I guess that is fine. I had been given a female last year by Cue when our eggs went bad, and I am still grateful. To some, she might have just been a regular old normal who doesn't have any monetary worth.. but to me, she is an awesome snake.
But it does upset me that people view normals as something to "get rid of" and that "there isn't any money in them anyway." Maybe if people stopped giving them away, their value would not be so low. If I had an answer that'd cure the overpopulation of unwanted normals in pet rescues, I would use it, but I really don't know.
