That you may see most if not all simple recessive morphs spike up a little bit. It is supply and demand and there is a huge shift in the market. We are still selling a ton of snakes but more simple recessive now. Every breeder can see this shift which is making simple recessive stuff like gold. Now all of a sudden you see breeders wanting to trade animals for homozygous females. We have loads of homozygous females and aren't releasing any untill we 15 of each for that reason. We should be there on most of our projects at the end of this year. But back to the issue here is that the demand has gone up period. They are harder to make and need larger projects. They aren't going to drop like Codoms. Pieds will not be in the 2k range this year you will see. Everyone saw that one person price that one too low but that doesn't change the market. We would just sheleve them all before we sold a pied for that. They will be more than they were last year mark my words. Everyone wants simple recessive stuff. The codoms have stabilized and are still a great investment. We are selling a ton those right now. The Simple Recessive stuff is gold right now and will be in the future. It is the stable investment for the ball python enthusiast because they are alot harder and more costly to reproduce. Codom stuff will drop because you can take one male and breed it to a bunch of normals and make the same animal. Doesn't work that way with simple recessinve morphs. You need het females and so on. The market is not crashing so don't kid yourself into thinking that it is. Like I said Codoms adjusted that is about it and that made simple recessive stuff on fire. You ask any big breeder and ask if he thinks simple recessive stuff will drop this year. He will look at you like you are nutz.. I am telling you that some morphs like the "Clown" and other simple recessive stuff are going up in price. Actually our sales are up 40% this year so far from last year. Business is booming people. The market is growing big time right now. It ismuch bigger than just kingsnake.
