Hey Mike,



Not meaning too, but there are just too many factors in play with these guys. Example, clutch sizes, multiple clutch's, so many ppl breeding conda to conda, these alone are the biggest factors to me!



When I first started seeing Supers come down to around the 1k mark....that's a major warning sign....ha! Now these old timers that's been breeding these past few years have been making a killing! But you gotta see that these hogs breed so damn fast and have such large clutch sizes it was just a matter of time before the market was just going to get saturated and fast! Look at how many are in the classified section even today 114 as of this writing. Still I'm only really talking about the regular Conda's and not the high end morphs....but even they are seeing prices falling with all the damn het's being sold so cheaply....it was only a matter of time.



I think Troy was one of the first to see this start to happen. With so many pushing their snakes to breed within 2 yrs instead of the normal 3 or more...it just puts even more hogs into the market that much faster. Look at how many people are pulling their snakes early, pairing them up in January, when normally it's around March or April. When you start to see the 2014 neonates popping up on here in April and May or even before as I predict instead of the normal summers months.....it will prove my point.



Once ppl learned that all they had to do was to brumate their stock early to get a jump on the breeding season...poof, that started a whole new way of doing things. Next there will be people brumating their snakes in the summer to get a jump on the next season even earlier...lol kidding, or am I?



Or maybe I'm just splattering out the mouth to be able to get one of those elusive hundred dollar Conda's
