I think this is simply a result of the numbers now being produced. I don't really see anyone dumping them. The prices are still in the 2 to 3k range, and hets are still commanding around $1300 a pair. I think there is a good future in these boas. There are still many crosses these need to be bred into.

Look how long it too for albinos to come down to a somewhat reasonable price. The days of sky high prices are over I think. The new prices reflect that.

Not the vpi line anyway! unproven lines seem to pop up from time to time that seem to look different from each other. lots of competition with the CAs

a certain breeder that produced them first dumped the price on them so quickly. They have been around for less time than the vpi line and the price on them is less than half. Great way to support your customers sell them at top dollar and then dump the price the next year good job lol.

purchased from that breeder only to see prices slashed by 2/3 the following year. Oh well, I love them and have long term plans for them in my future projects. Thanks for all of the input!
