future ( a hopefully very short WAVE )! Good shows / expos gone bad. Meaning > the rentable tables it seems wouldn't be rented out if the BP breeders wasn't there. Common economics are present at this time on the shows. yes, I remember ALMOST the same with leopard geckos and bearded dragons. Now they are saturated as to only a few breeders are at the shows. the BPs will go the same way and I don't have any doubt about that. The thing that gets me is that some of these shows use to limit the numbers of tables rented to same reptile but here we go again on the economics of the shows. Just recently at a show a young person dropped about what I determined was $10,000 on ball morphs and here 2 weeks later comes this new ( not really new but the way they advertise themselves ) BP morph breeder and their prices are about half almost of the morphs that the young man purchased. Now we all know the reason that the young guy did in fact purchase the morphs and as he stated. All I could do was to shake my head on his planes of returns and think by the time that he actually did breed his purchases of neonates to juvies how the market will be VERY saturated by then.
