I feel your same pain at times and I have also questioned myself on this. I bought my pastel male for $2300 about 2 years ago and now u can pick up a baby for $500 or cheaper,but the way I look at it is all these people trying to make that quick buck sell their animals cheap and so fast, the fact is once their animals are gone their gone which reopens the door for a more stable price plateau,do I think they are wrong for doing it,thats not my call. I personally am in this for the long haul,AWESOME animals, AWESOME customer service and REAL hets will keep me selling animals to people FOREVER,I dont want the quick buck but I also dont want to hear that, ohhhhhhhh you should do it for the love of the animals,I love my animals but I like many others DID NOT make a multi-thousand dollar investment JUST for the love of the animal! I want to see myself and others succeed in this venture, (NCARY your one of them dog). I hated school and I love ball pythons so if my passion turns into a great money making business then thats what i was meant to do with my life without a college education. I feel people need to be smarter if they are in it for the long haul,but if they are in it for the short haul we wont have to worry about them in a year or 2,let them make their quick cash and be gone. Someone had said awhile back the days of $20,000 ball pythons are gone,why is that? if you have an animal that took a 1 in 16 chance to produce and it was made with 2 HIIIIIGH END morphs $20,000 is not absurd like people think,as long as SOMEONE is willing to buy the animals there will always be a market.I would LOVE to write so much more buuuut overkill is bad and trying to do it at 4am is even worse.
