the market will be what it will be. it all depends on the economy, rising fuel costs, supply vs. demand, the pending possible ban on pythons & boas etc.......

A grate big ? Too many factors this year to guess . David

Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open mouth and remove any doubt!"

Lots of variables to think about - recession, ban market shifts - and I don't think we are going to be seeing as many of the base morphs as we normally do - I think we are going to be seeing more mixes, double morphs - that is really where the demand is.

Anyway here is my prediction but I don't feel very good about it -- too many variables this season - it's anyones game.

Albino: current $600-$800 Mid season:$500ish Post Daytona $350-$500

Pied: current $1200-$2200 Mid season:$1000ish Post Daytona $900-$2000

Cinnamon: current $400 ish Mid season:$350ish Post Daytona $150-350

Black Pastel: (See Cinny)

Pinstripe: current $400 - $600 Mid season: $300ish Post Daytona $250-$350

Spider: current $200-$500 Mid season: $300ish Post Daytona $200 ish

Pastel: current free w/purchase -$400 Mid season: $200ish Post Daytona free w/purchase - $200

Yellow Belly: (same as pastel)

Ivory: current $2000 ish Mid season:$1500ish Post Daytona $1250ish

Caramel Albino: current $2000-$2500 Midseason: $1500ish Post Daytona $750- $1000

Genetic Stripe: current $1500 - $2000 Midseason $1000ish Post Daytona $750ish

Ghost: current $300-$500 Midseason $200-$400ish Post Daytona $200ish

Of course there will always be people asking too much and those selling too low. But that's just my guess.

Tosha,
I already knew the possible ban, economy, etc. would play a part that is why I was asking for what others were thinking. I appreciate you taking the time to give your opinion. I was hoping more people would take a stab at it instead of stating the obvious. Ron
