Tom, Do you own any snows? Why? I have had snakes since I was young but this year was my first big production year.
I am not sure what in your collection or it's size or how long you have been breeding and selling reptiles.
I hate to mention names out of respect, but Shannon Brown, Don Shores, Jeff Alloway, Bruce Skipper have all lowered their prices on everything and these are well know many years of experience breeders I talk with on a regular basis.
I alone have not set the price of any animal, I simply have followed suit.
Don Shore posted a pair of snows for 1400 well before I lowered my prices.
What I am saying is, these are big names in the Honduran market they have more to lose then you or I. If they are lowering prices and we are to follow maket prices as you have stated, would these not be the people that are setting them? Not me.
I produced some VP albinos this year which I asked a hi price for and got it. I would not have taken less. Like you have said I would have enjoyed watching them grow.
I have 3.5 adult snows and 2 female het snow. I have had my fill of watching them grow. I have more to lose then anyone here. I problably have the largest adult snow collection in the world.
THINK HOW I FEEL.
Next year I will produce around 45 snows. Would you like to reserve 1 or 2?
