This reminds me of the albino burmese market back in the 80's. I knew a guy that spent over $2,000 on a pair of babies, only to watch the market drop like crazy in 3-4 years.
He was planning on selling his offspring for similar money, but the babies fell to less than $100 ea. when his snakes reached breeding size. They're not that hard to breed if you have room and the clutch size is 20 . Now most states are banning the big guys from private collections because of a few idiots walking around in public with these snakes draped around their necks. A common occurence in NYC before the new laws were enacted. Florida seems to be the focal point now with "released" animals.
