I totally see how the pricing can get lower. I can also see why someone would price there snakes on the Higher Side. I am just trying to figure out something more linear for myself.

Example:

I have a honeybee male that I paid for 1500.00 this summer. I also have a female pastel het hypo that I bought last year for 650.00. I have 2150.00 invested into this pairing. The honey bee will breed for many years and many different pairings....Lets say I get a six egg clutch. Not a 100% sure of the odds, but what if I got 1 normal het for OG, 2 orange ghost, a honey bee, a spider het OG, and a humblebee. I would obviously hold back 1 of the BPs but I would love to be able to price the animals according to the investment.

That seemed to be the way it worked 10 years ago....Why is that differing today. It seems like the clutches are being sold at way higher prices than what was invested. I hope all this makes sense. If you look at the Albinos right now they seem very linear per investment. But other combos seem to have no rhymes or reasons for their at least for me an outlandish pricing structure.

Regards,
Bill Rubin
