new snakes tomorow at 12 pm

[Freebody]

holly $%^ they came down that much in price since 2008? my god, hold out till next you might get some for free lol, i guess it most likley because in the past 2 years herping has way more than doubled in popularity as well as those selected few snake that came over years ago,their offsprings are now of age to breed so a massive plumit in price is expected? sound about right? looks like breeding ball pythons is the wave of the future tho, everyone and their cousin is breeding balls and selling off their other collections.

They only used to be available in Europe, but are now being bred here in Canada.
Heck the first pair of Jaguars I got cost 7G out of Germany.
Can pick up a pair for $400-$700 now.
I recall when Lucy BPs were 100G, first Mojave I held was 17G, Spiders were 30G etc. etc. etc. BP morphs drop like crazy LOL
The pairs of Womas & Diamonds you just got would have been 4G & 3G (7G) not so long back either.
I had Womas & Diamonds for 5 years prior breaking even.
As things become more readily available & also the current economy, things can drop in price quick.
Most morphs are directly comparable to a pyramid sceme, Mark

i beleive it, i have always loved snakes but to be honest i have only started venturing down the morph road for a few years, before that it was just a love for reg species so prices are all new to me in morphs, good for the collector terrible for the breeder :P i wonder if prices will ever increase again, i can only see it to continue to drop. when are feeders and equipment going to drop in price :P that would be a good day lol. Im sure on a + side, sales must be much more frequent? so what you lose in price per unit you make up with volume?

I don't know how the jag morph works if it's co-dom or not but they'll be in there too!

jag genes a co dom mate

cheers shaun

ron w in europe has 2 visual granite irian jaya's up for sale at 700 euro's each.they are a pair as well.

thats the only visuals ive ever seen at anywhere near that price mate.

im sure you will still do very well in canada

i remember in 2008 i saw visual granites and they were 9000 euro's each.

i wish you all the best in this coming season mark.i hope all 5 of your girls throw out some granites.

you most certainly deserve a result like that mate.

you've done more than your fair share re supplying high quality morelia to canada.

all the best shaun

THX guys!
I take it as it comes & its usually all good.
I just wanted to make the point that it can take upto 5 years to break even in many cases.
Hardly a money making venture LOL but it pays the bills & I have lots of cool snakes, so life could be far worse THX Mark

[katalyzt]

wow those are gorgeous! Congratulations man.

I know you've posted a couple times on my other thread and suggested carpet python as my next snake. Well I'm convinced... I went from king to gtp and now to carpet. I'm getting a carpet. They're gorgeous with awesome patterns and apparently good temperament.

Again congratulations on the awesome new roommates
