Clark Tucker of PowerHouse Reptiles

that is so crazy that someone would sell snakes at a price where normal everyday people could afford them! i can't believe the nerve of him wanting to expand the market to the hobbyist and not just the investor! what a horrible person he is for wanting to sell HIS snakes for a price that would not make most people break the bank. this guy should be hunted down! lol

seriously, all of these morphs are so overpriced, i hope that they will all be around $100-$500 soon. it is going to be intresting what the prices are going to be like in a year or two, what with the economy and all. i like the wild type look better than any other though.

It's not Joe's prices that turn people off.
It's Joe himself.
His arrogant, used car salesman, screw everyone over to make a buck ,attitude is what people don't like.

Matt, in case you have not noticed...BP morphs are now affordable to almost everyone.

Joe C. and his bunch of cronys such as Rick, Clark or whoever the sucker du joir is are only trying to line their pockets, not make morphs affordable to anyone.

Something else to consider is that cheap morphs are just that, quality is never cheap!

you do have a point there, i would not mind paying allot more than $500 for a beautiful snake( I'm personally a boa guy ) with paperwork saying where its ancestry is from, i just don't care much for the morphs.

I think what everyone is forgetting is reguardless of what one buyer's experience is, there are still many customers that are still satisfied with the snakes produced by Joe Capone. His partner, Clark Tucker, is trying to make it right and that shows that he is a bigger person than most breeders. Do you really think that he is doing this all on his own? No, as a partner, I am sure he has to consult Joe on the issue as well. Just goes to show that some people know when to say, "Let's try to make things right, what can we do to correct the issue?", whereas others hear one bad thing from one irrate person and blow things way out of proportion. I think you all should be ashamed of how you come off. A lot of good quality herps have come from both breeders and just because the rest of you are ass chapped because of prices doesn't mean you have room to bitch. How many of you have recieved poor quality reptiles from either one?

Christ, you need to post your full name or your posts will be deleted

Christy, not Christ

Christy, go back and read all the threads on Joe if you are going comment, otherwise, you are going to come off as uninformed and ignorant.

How would you feel if you bought a snake from Joe in 2005 for $8000, and two years later, he is selling them for $800, while the rest of the world is selling them for $3000? Buying a snake at $800 when the market is selling them for $3000 makes you a scab buyer AND seller...caring only about now, yourself, and not about the harm one person can do. Joe purposefully tried to ruin the Ball market, he admitted this! If he cared so much for his customers, he would roughly follow what the market is doing. He cares about his bottom line, period! So he is giving the new customers low prices, while the customers that paid big bucks a few years earlier, have no way to make even a small percent of their money back. Get it now?
