I say this without trying to sound like a jerk, but you have contridicted yourself multiple times in this one topic. You state that you are not part of the reason for dropping prices than say that you don't care if you make money and just want to help others to come into this hobby. Then you say that if you don't start to make money you will sell off alot of your snakes. This turn around makes no sense to me. My wife and me have spent roughly $50k on ball pythons and do plan on making our money back, not enough to quit our day jobs (we are both RN's) but enough to pay for my habit of keeping and breeding these awesome animals. The cool thing is that I have advertised publicly very little and only have 1 animal left from last year that is being given away to a friend as a favor since he is not working with that morph yet. I could easily put that on the market and make a couple hundred bucks off of it, but why? I could easily drop it $100 less than the market value, but why? I have never sold an animal for less than what I was asking for because my asking prices are fair to me and that is what matters. I do not offer less than asking prices because any snake I'm interested in is a top notch animal and worth every penny people sell them for. I guess the cool thing is that I have an incubator full right now and am looking forward to adding some more very cool animals to the collection this year, and yes, I am still more than willing to spend more than 1k on an animal right now.
