To be honest I don't really want to see their price drop much lower. I'm not a breeder (one day I hope), just an avid buyer, so I have no vested interest in this right now. I like that they are becoming more accessible so more people can afford to experience how great these animals are but at the same time we have to acknowledge that they are a bit more fiddly to keep, I don't want to see them so cheap that they become disposable.
If I were breeding them and saw they were going for bog standard carpet prices, I'd stop breeding them or I'd give them away to friends. The truth is that most people will be more careful with an animal they can't afford to see die. Knowing how special greens are, as a breeder, it would twist my insides to think they were suffering so in a way I think their price tag protects them a bit and if that is the case it should stay that way.
Before anyone makes the argument that poor keepers can take as much care of their animals as rich keepers, I'm not arguing with you, I agree, the point I'm making is that if you pay a lot for something it's gonna hurt in more than one way if it dies, so most people will show more respect to the expensive thing. Most, not all.
Also a lot of the breeders bought these animals when they demanded a much higher price tag, they risked big money on them, they shouldn't have to give the babies away. Don't like it? risk a bit of your own money and lead by example
Not attacking anyone, just my thoughts.
