Hello, Virid I agree 100%. I would love to know why so many people keep mentioning positive attitude. The vast majority of people whom I see engaging in commerce of any kind tend to have a great attitude and seem 1000% positive in dealing with the public. I mean lets be real who's going to buy anything from someone who has the attitude of a republican on steroids. I've always thought having a positive attitude was absolute and yes I know you also mean having a positive outlook about the industry and it's future.



Unfortunately we can have all the positive karma emanating from our being but we still have to deal with supply and demand. Some have implied that some people sell what they produce at below what the true market value of the animal is. I personally don't think that happens much if at all. The big truth is that demand has not kept up with the supply hence prices dropping. I do this myself as a means of income so please don't think I don't have an interest, but I've never thought that I by my little old self could affect the reptile industry in a negative way.



But hey that's just my opinion and I've been around since 1989 and seen quite a lot happen in that period of time. In ending I would like to make a suggestion. Maybe someone on the forum knows someone who is like a economics genius, or has been awarded a Nobel in economics to give us the straight scoop on why the prices have fallen so drastically in the ball python morph industry. So does anyone know someone like that, if so give him/her the E.E.I's and tell them to get to work. Big curious brains want to know. Thanks for taking a look and take care. Andrew
