It is really about two words, "supply" and "demand". Basic economics says that price is a result of supply and demand. Since there are more people breeding ball morphs, and captive populations are growing exponentially, supply is rising fast. Think about it. You breed a pastel to a normal. She lays 6 eggs, half which theoreticaly should be pastels. You now have 4 pastels (3 hatchlings the sire). Four pastels bred to 4 normals, average 6 eggs each, thats 24 eggs, half pastels (in theory) now there are 16 pastels. And on and on. It really doesn't take long to get to 1,000 then 10,000. Next thing you know they are taking over the world.
