Ok so allthough i have been out of the ball python scene for a couple years now i noticed that the prices still seem to drop every year. For example a few years ago when i got into the whole mrphs scene and what not i could have never dreamed of buying a pied or hets. While i still cant afford a Piebald i have hets coming soon that i also could not have afforded a few years ago. My question is why is it that the prices are always dropping? I mean does supply increase and demand decrese every year? I can understand with alot of co-doms because they are quiker to produce babies that look like them. But shouldnt simple reccesive snakes be dropping prices slower? I am still trying to build up my collection so I am not complaining im just curious. Maybe this question makes me sound like i am in it for the money (allthough its a nice plus) but i do really enjoy keeping these reptiles and im just curious weather or not other people think this will eventually kill the market?
