Hondurans are suffering from their own relative success.With the availability of morphs growing exponentially faster than the new market most breeders are at or over their own carrying capacity already.Honduran breeders are now competing with a continuously changing landscape of the consumer.With the ability to double clutch and their ease to breed the ssp successes will always squeeze out the profits from the middle men first.DONT complain,have you seen the price of snow corns?? If you were thinking about becoming rich breeding snakes stand in a long line of better people before you ,lol.
I think its the marketing end of this medium that needs work.Breeders just arent nice enough to individuals at shows as they used to be.We sometimes would rather hold a price than give someone a deal.....and some of those someones are the first timers that get a bad taste in their mouth so they dont stick with and expand the hobby.Remember,for most of us that is just what it always will be.Jeff
