Without reading every post here...this is my opinion:

The Problem is that too many people are going for the quantity and not for the quality. Too many people are searching the net for the lowest priced Pastel. But who is really searching for the best looking? I think it is what it is because 75% are only in this game because of the money they try to get out of it. Producing Ball Pythons. Thats what its all about. There should be more love for this snakes and more eyes for the beauties among the morphs. It is all about having pastels, fires, mojos, lav`s, lessers and butters, but it should be more about having beautiful and interesting animals. I`m searching for the best looking snakes not the cheapest. I hope that there will be a change in some time...selective breeding and not power feeding! ( Its not about the rhyme )
