""ive never paid more than 20 for any color morph of that type snake""

Must be nice to have great connections.

There's people who really like house snakes and appreciate what they are and the morph potentials in them...there's people who just want a cool snake for as cheap as they can get it.

None of the self-respecting breeders of "that type snake" species would sell the animals they produce for such a low price.
