Am I the only one that thinks that the price of a Sunglow boa is artificially inflated?

There is no way in my feeble little mind that I can understand why sunglows are the prices they are. Dont get me wrong they are some real stunners out there, but I have seen some albinos lately that look almost as good as sunglows. When does an animal that is produced with a codominant/dominant and a recessive trait command the same price as the snow boa which is a lot more difficult (time wise as far as breeding trials) to produce.

As far as I can see there were a "million" sunglows produced this past year, with an equal amount DH sunglows. This market will collapse given the sheer quantity of sunglows that will be produced in the future. Please correct me if Im wrong, I just dont see spending 6-8 thousand on a sunglow when I can buy an awesome coral or whatever albino at around three thousand.

I dont know, just trying to start some friendly arguements, lol.

Feel free to correct me and guide me into the light...

Thanks
Bob
