Mystics

[Melicious]

People also seem to forget that breeders are in business to make money and pay the bills just like the rest of us. I've been thinking about buying another snake. I rather a quality snake then something that is bred and shipped out of the door with out some food in them and taken care of. I love seeing these new morphs I might not love all of them there's defently ones out there I'm keeping my eye on.

Amen to that. I picked up a het. albino female from Adam in December, and I'd much rather pay what I paid than going to some guy at an expo who's just trying to flip a snake or two for cheap. I had this all planned out too. I'd much rather buy from a reputable breeder, spend a little more than most people, and know that my snake is of a higher quality. She's a fat little girl now too. ^_^

I think that the prices will go up but not to 10K, they'll probably meet somewhere inbetween.

Time will tell.

A number of things COULD happen. If the mystics do prove to be another line of phantom, I would imagine they'll all come down in price. I wouldn't bet on any prices going up though.

But what will happen if the Mystics DON'T prove out? What if they're another line of Mojave instead of another line of Phantom? What if they're something in-between? It should be interesting seeing what happens either way.

That's the million dollar question right there.

Wouldn't the only way to really "prove" that it's another line of Phantoms be to not be able to produce a Super Mystic Phantom or Super Phantom Mystic?

More or less.

Any bets on how big the lynch mob would be?

Why -- I'd pay $2K to be able to produce what Anthony just did with the Mystic -- irregardless of whether or not it is a Phantom.

Just because he popped something out, he was saying if he didn't.

Ok everyone that replied to this thread, let me start off by saying dont talk about prices when you and everyone with a brain will rather buy , lets say bee for $500 then pay $1000 its comon sence, same snake same morph but cheeper.. I have a pretty decent collection but most of us on here are like me , small basement breeders that also like me are not in it for the money.. right so why do you guys charge the prices that big breeders charge.

Not all of us basement breeders share that mentality. That's the reason there are browned out pastels that barely resemble the morph out there. Slap those cheap males with any ol' normal and crank 'em out as fast as you can. Where's the selective breeding? Between the $500 bee and the $1000 bee, I'm buying the better looking snake of the two regardless of the cost. At the end of the day those snakes cost the same to feed and quality will always be worth more.
