Another thing i notice is well known high quality lines such as sxr jungles or black and white jungles (many more i am sure) still fetch a premium year in year out. Perfect examples of the supply and demand theory.

Bottom line is you pay what you think something is worth.The concept of buying reptiles as an "investment" is flawed.This is first and foremost a hobby.If you can make a few bob out of breeding to cover outlays thats great if not so what.

I buy whatever type of reptile appeals to me not because I think its necessarily a good investment.As an example if blonde macs were to drop to $10 each I would still breed and keep them because I like them,its as simple as that.
