I like to consider my animals as my hobby not an investment, so I guess that's why our opinions may differ.

It's all about the laws of supply and demand. If the supply(everyone and their brother breeding for investments) exceeds the demand, then prices drop accordingly. If I was "sitting" on a bunch of animals that were taking up my "investments" space and food then I my friend are not going to sit on them till someone comes along and pays 10K for my pair of snakes. Meanwhile the going price has dropped to 2K a pair. Make sense?
You can sit on them till the cows come home.....hopefully they sell at your 10k price.

Would I be pissed? Sure but that is the risk involved. As far as a the Boa market goes is it really that bad? Because it seems to me there is alot of selling going on and people are getting what they are asking or close to it.

Take it easy-

Brett
