Well, here goes. I posted a pair of snow hondurans for $1400 on KS and got no calls. I know of one guy in Daytona who I was told sold 2 pair of snow hondurans for $1500 a pair and he's a ball python guy. Anyway early this year I had bought all of Byron Barnes adults thinking that I would recoup all of my money this year on the snow project. I produced 4 snows and sold 1 pair and traded 1 female. I received 3 more snows and haven't even had a bite on them. I know the market dictates what people will pay for animals and maybe I jumped the gun on the price. The market seems to change all the time. Last year I saw ghosts males going for $500 and I have sold pairs this year for $1000. I know what people are saying about holding onto animals for some time but say I keep feeding 200 hondurans for 4 to 6 months and then still can't sell them then I am out even more money. We never quite know what to expect on animals in the future. I actually may not even recoup the money I spent on Byrons animals but such is life. I just take it in stride as that's the way the market goes. I usually always sell all the animals I produce just sometimes it takes longer. Seven yearsgo or so I spent $4000 on a pair of albino nelsoni and if I would have waited 6 months I could have bought them for $500 each, maybe the same ones. I know I lost money then but I still sell them and may make my money back someday.
