I feel the same reasons David mentioned and also mentioned them in another forum on this same topic. The imports coming in on Ball Pythons out numbers Boas 100's to 1. Also, some Ball Python males are bred as early as 6 months and females as early as 1.5yrs as well as one solid male could knock up 4-6-8-10 females.

I also agree with TC, except as far as the market goes BP's fell of that edge last year (with some morphs losing as much as 90% of their value) and still haven't hit bottom yet. 2007 prices should be interesting to say the least.
