As others have said, there is a limited market for multi-thousand dollar animals. IMO the only ones willing to make such a purchase are either independantly wealthy or are intending to breed them at some point in time.

Now to my thought... at some price point, the morphs will become attractive to average joe snake owner. Those with no intention of breeding, only want to own a really cool looking snake. Maybe at that time the volume of sales will increase and make up some for the lower price per animal?
