With the ever increasing breeding, availability and licensing changes over time, should there be minimum values set on certain species.
Womas have come down considerably since being moved to class 1 and albinos are decreasing in price with repeated selective breeding to name a couple.
Should we be protecting the 'exclusiveness' of some of the more exotic or rarer species by setting a minimum price for purchasing no matter who sells it?
What if you could buy an albino or green tree python for only a few hundred?
Would they hold the same value in the hobby any more or would the lesser valued, more readily available species no longer hold any interest or value at all?
