This is already happening. I've bought a couple different snakes this year because of "poor economy sales." People are hurting for cash, and can't afford to keep their snakes.

We haven't even begun to see the problems we're going to face economically.

And for saying those of us who have snakes in our blood will still be here- true. But how many snakes will we be keeping when we have to choose between feeding our snakes and our children? Sure, breeding rodents is dirt cheap, and a lot of us do it. But what happens when bedding triples in price? Feeds are already going up. People have less and less free money to spend.


I see certain of things dying out more than anything else. So many morphs are so expensive, people who like those animals are going to buy normals, or cheaper morphs.
