The average cliutch sizes have been between 20-30. Womas dont have this many babies. So my market research is not far of. Take into acount that there is about 350 sub adults out there of legal and illegal origin. See what happens next year when these snakes come into adulthood. Add the fact that there are very discriptive books and material on breeding these snakes available. This all comes down snakes not being able to be sold for 7-10000 dollars. And on top of this these snakes dont breed seasonally so you could theoretically have clutches all year round.

seriously i reckon they should come down to about 3k, they are harder to keep needing more attention but they are to costly, even more so when there is a chance of them diing due to there needs.

No seriously mate!!! I have heard that for babies even. The guy who hatches them first will be making the big bucks. Next year it will go slower.

I have sent a email to the big-wigs at Lambourghini head quarters telling them that I'm going to refuse to buy any of their cars until they drop their prices! Now, everybody else send an email and soon we should be able to pick up a Diablo for about the same price as a Commodore.

i say if you realy wanted GTP's you would
pay what the breeders wanted as if you where the breeder
you would not sell them for $3000 and if any did put me
down for a pair.
