You are right on, Evan. I don't think there are too many people that can make a living off of one or two ball python racks anymore. Of course I want to produce as many new/valuable morph combos I can, but I realize that producing larger numbers of the morphs the average consumer/hobbyist wants, such as albino, pieds, bumblebees, etc., is the key to making a consistent income. In a down economy, expensive animals don't sell very well, but the lower-priced ones always sell.
As far as price drops go, there are a lot of people that don't want to hold onto their babies, so they lower the price to move them quickly. I've seen some pretty insane prices on some animals this year, but that happens every year. I prefer to set my prices at a resonable level and wait out all the cheaper sellers. Balls sell awesome in the Winter and Spring months. Someone has to have some inventory still available to meet that demand!
