That's just the way it is in this hobby. Been breeding colubrids for 30 years now and the prices have always come down. Most of them are not hard to breed. In 79' my first albino corn cost me $100 and in 80' my first campbell (from Applegate) cost me $100. Now they're both in the $10-15 range. Even the high end campbells ( halloween, bi-colors) are lower in price. The same thing happened with my sub-ocs in the mid-70's until the blondes and silvers (now albinos) appeared. You have more breeders turning out hondo morphs so the supply increases and prices come down. I only wish this would happen with the high end BP's.

My costs for frozen rodents and supplies exceeds my snake sales by 4-1. I've given away snakes in the past

(BP's and corns) when I run out of space, but still enjoy the hobby, especially the egg hatching part.
