I don't breed, but here's my opinion for the 1/2 cent it is worth...

As much as we love snakes fact of the matter is that they are pretty close to the very bottom of importance and things we need to have. Innumerable things come before them which means that I have a great number of other stuff to spend money on before I will buy snakes. For instance gas, food, health insurance, rent/mortgage, household bills, taking care of the current animals I have. Everything else seems to keep going up in price (especially gas). Snakes just get the short end of the stick out of necessity.

Now seems like a good time for those who are interested in breeding in the future to get a few nicer morphs at lower prices because eventually the market will pick backup and the prices on snakes will rise again.
