Supply and demand.

The supply has increased and prices have come down.

You get a show on snake morphs on Animal Planet or NGC and your demand could take off and prices would follow. The value of ghosts had dropped only to make a strong comeback when the combos became so impressive.

Snakebytes, Reptile Radio and other herp media outlets are trying to do just that. To show these animals to the American people show everybody what we are doing and how amazing they are.

This will play into the mix in the future.


I went to a show years ago to look at beardies and was fascinated by BP's. The more people become aware and desire these animals the more demand there will be. Look at the reptile industry as a whole, it has grown hand over fist in the last 10-20 years. People like Steve Irwin and other animal shows have had alot to do with this along with the growth of the internet. Still the majority of Americans probably wouldn't even consider owning a reptile let alone a snake but show them some albinos, pieds and bumble bees and watch them go WOW, those are cool.

Anything could happen, meanwhile do it because you like snakes not to get rich quick or it will get old fast.
