Price is all in the genes! Take simple Axanthics as an example. Probably the most expensive one is the VPI as it is probably the highest quality, with nerd and Snake keeper coming in next. Jolliff is probably at the bottom. Respectively speaking the genes cost more to get. I could have gotten a double het for Jolliff snow male for around $100 less than my double het for VPI snow as again the VPI Snow is probably the best out of all the snows! A pair of hets for snake keeper axanthic cost around $600.00 last time I looked but a pair of double hets for VPI Axanthic are around $800.00 last time I checked. It is all in the quality of the morph/normal, possibilities in the morph/normal, age of them morph/normal, and weight of the morph/normal that drives prices up. I don't think the $10,000.00 snakes are going to disappear for some time to come.
