People must realize these are not Ball Pythons, with the amount of retics being bred, the prices will have to go down, albino burms dropped for the same reason, highly fecund snakes do not hold their value long. New morphs will replace the older and prices will invariably drop, it's easy for any person to say don't lower your prices, yeah and what happens when you invested a good amount of money in retics and have 50-100 neonates to care for and no one wants to buy at higher prices because the market is literally saturated with surplus snakes. Everyone hold out? It is not going to happen, the prices are falling steady and to be honest one will still make money even at lower prices because of the higher yield in egg production these snakes can put out, if you purchased your retics to merely make money and get "rich" you should have tried tbills or the stock market instead, both markets very volatile. They will in my opinion drop to those prices within 5 years time and then hold steady just like burms
