Hi. I'm a colubrid keeper that has recently become interested/curious about ball pythons. I haven't bought any yet but I was looking at them pretty closely at the Daytona show and will probably buy my first pair soon. Over the years, in Daytona, I've noticed that there are quite a few vendors selling them every year and some of the morphs seem to maintain very high price points. So my question is, and not wanting to offend any breeders, that's not my intetion, I'm just curious: how is it that some of these morphs are maintaining some very high price points with so many breeders out there (because it does seem like both online and at shows, there is a lot of ball python vendor competition)? For those who are breeding and selling them, are you selling them all or do you find you are holding a lot back that won't sell? It just seems like it would be impossible for all the ones I see at the Daytona show to sell and to sell at the prices that are being asked. Again, I'm new to all of this and I realize some of the morphs are very recently created and of course, would command a high price. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, Mike
