I dare you to go "collecting" in the Everglades! So, imports make ball pythons cheap? Maybe OVER breeding them is whats making them so cheap??? The importation has given you everything you have today, so that's one benefit in your favor. Every ball python, normal or quad morph is only here because of importation. I think it's hilarious when people keeping morphs start talking about how worthless importation is to the hobby. What did Brian at BHB say that one imported ball python made him???? How many people now own that morph? Where did it originate again? If someone is breeding 50 female ball pythons trying to make as much as they can, I'm not going to feel sorry for them when they can only get 10 bucks for a normal. If you think about it differently, you're getting paid to advertise your hobby. The newb pays 10 bucks, gets into the hobby, spreads the word, creates more buyers, and comes back to upgrade his/her own collection down the road. You just got paid for something you deemed worthless, and potentially created several new customers. WIN!
