I'll give you an example. I recently had a buddy of mine complaining that he couldn't sell his jungle babies from this last year. The adults are average...at best. He was asking 150 shipped per pair.
Meanwhile, I produced a clutch that I sold out of in less than 3 weeks for 600 a pair.
My adults are "much higher quality" (and when I say that...meaning they are the best of the best available...high black and very neon yellow)

So, it stands to reason that people want "prettier" snakes than they do...."average snakes". I know I do.
And, when I go to buy any new animal I have my eye on....I buy the best that I can find available because I know that if they aren't....I won't be able to move the offspring when the time comes.

Of course, That also includes whether I'll actually breed the animals because I don't put stuff together unless I know there is going to be a market for it.
That said, there is always a higher market for "higher quality" animals than there are for average animals.

Not saying that average animals don't sell because different strokes for different folks but, overall.....that is the standard in the market.
