well, fortunately for the indigo lover, there's seems to be a bunk load that was produced this year. prices should be way below 1k. hopefully, the babies that were produced weren't too inbred. would definitely ask for lineage information if i was buyer. would also spend the time (~2 months) to get an interstate commerce license first ($100). the interstate commerce license is a double edge sword. it requests u to specify who you're buying it from so it obligates the buyer to that seller(s). but fws does allow the buyer to change the sources of acquisition. it didn't cost any additional $$$ and they were nice enough to accomodate my changes.

i think as a collective group, it's the responsibility of the drymarchon breeders to undo the damage done by inbreeding over the past decade. falling prices will definitely help the situation as it makes it less likely to get unscrupulous breeders who are in it just for the $$$. my two cents
