Like everyone has said, it's supply and demand. as the supply of the dom morphs goes up the demand goes down and prices drop. another factor is that as the smaller breeders produce animals they basically have to drop their prices to be able to sell their animals to below "market" value. Anyone with a bit of common sence knows you won't buy from the smaller breeder that has yet to make a name for himself when you can buy from a huge breeder with a great reputation for the same money. Granted it only takes a few hundred dollar drop to be able to move your animals quickly to get a return on your investment. But you must always remember, ball pythons aren't going to be a breeders only market forever. Selling 5-10 spiders at 8k is just as good as selling 20 pieds at 4k or 40 albino's at 2k. spiders and some of these other morphs are wonderful but not as extreme looking as pieds or even albino's. once an animal get's to pet lvl prices is there going to be a large enough demand to move the number of animals that are being produced?
