I enjoyed reading your "Snake Economics" write up. I have never really understood the price determination myself. Do breeders say: "Wow we created a new morph. Lets charge $12,000." What determines that initial value for the animal?

Correct me if i'm wrong because I am certainly no economics expert. At some point in the marketplace for a specific morph, wouldn't it reach a point where the long term return would not justify the initial cost. It would no longer be an investment.

A bold prediction: Over the next decade we may see the "extinction" of some morphs in the market because they value hits rock bottom. It would look something like this:

Piebald Ball Python, Male, $65.00
