Why is that ball python worth $25K when a normal is $35.00, after all, they eat and crap just the same!

A few reasons;

There are only a few of this mutation, its uniqueness (sp!) dictates what one is ready to pay for it!

It takes time to get a new morph project going, sometimes years sitting on a major investment before seing any ROI.

Most new projects are brought in from Afrika, I will not get into the nightmare logistics involved in importing a new morphs. Those who've seen the movie ''Blood Diamonds'', very close to that reality beleive it or not.

The supply versus demand dictates market prices.

Why isn't a Picasso as cheap as the fake walmart repro!

Please chime in should you have other arguments justifying cost of morph.

Thanks

Brian
