What would be a sign that significantly lower prices are in the forecast. Look at several of the big wholesalers price lists. They are filled with a large selections of ball morphs. Pieds Albinos ivorys cinnamon lessors etc. You may ask why is this bad.

#1 - The prices are slightly less than KS asking price.

#2 - It means that individuals (likely newer breeders) were tired of holding on to babies and were willing to trade for 50% or less of the value of the snakes. It is a further indication that for the majority of new breeders that stock is not moving.

I have seen this before with other types of Morph animals. Once the morphs started being traded to the big wholesalers the price went from $1000 to $50 in about a year. I guess the Gecko and other snake breeders didn't see the advantage of COMBOS ha ha ha ha. Combos, the savior of BPs, right!
