First off.....I apologize to Jaykis. Haha....that was a bit un called for.
Jaykis, over the years you have constantly made snide comments to myself and Tom about the market, etc....Without taking your own experiences with these animals into account.
In a way...you're saying these others guys ("the market crashes" have superior knowledge than yourself about these animals....I know that not to be true.

Fact is.... that breeding BHPs is a matter of luck and a little bit of experience working with them.
The ONLY reason I produce babies for me to play with each year is because I have so many. Power in numbers!

Until a keeper is willing to offer only reptile prey to these animals.....we're still going to see the problems associated with them in the past. It's a flux....otherwise the market would have been "crashed" a long time ago.
They've been available as long as most other species.....so? what's the problem?

Anyone remember the mid 90's? Casey and Doug Price produced HUNDREDS of BHPs......where are they? And more importantly, where are the babies?
If you can find an animal that casey produced....it's at least 15 years old. Easy answer....only very few people who got those animals.... were successful at producing anything.
I talk to all kinds of BHP keepers each year and 90% of them tell me that nothing happen or they send me a picture like this one...
Yes, we all understand how the markets work....but, unless you have experience with these animals....you can not understand how the animal works.
And while yes, they are eventually going to come down....the nice ones are always going to be in demand because of the limited #s.
Someone made a comment about them overpriced......overpriced for who? You?
Like I said....I rarely sell animals but I have no problem getting what I'm asking. That tells me they're worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them.
Simple really
