Ramsayi,
I think you may have the wrong impression of peoples opinions in this thread. Mine atleast unless I have misworded my meanings or you are refering to past threads that people have wrote. I don't know. Anyway I am not insinuating that the Snake Ranch would dictate prices on Hets. I just used them as an example to indicate how their stock was sold cheaper than the original price of $3000ea that Simon was selling them for a few years ago. I understand you probly don't want to publically announce your asking price on Hets, but can you tell me if in the last 2 seasons that you have bred them were they still $3000ea or below this? The prices I have seen this season are $1200 - $2500 a pair so they have came down a bit. The other thing that may be misconstrued here regarding pricing is whether we are discussing the average market price or the lowest advertised price. EG: 5 breeders ask $2000ea and 2 ask $1000ea. You could say the prices have came down to $1000, however the average price is still $2000 which it was years ago and it all depends how you look at it I guess. Can I ask your opinion of why you think they will not budge in price over the next 3-4 years?
As for where are they all, I can't answer that one. Mainly because like yourself alot of keepers are secretive about the fact. But I am sure you already know of several clutches that were produced this season from yourself, Morelia Hunter, Morelia Morphs, Shane Hunter, John Weigal, Simon Stone, and no doubt a few others.
I hope this post dosn't come off as argumentative, does it?
I am just interested in reading your views while also expressing my own. But at the end of the day all it boils down to is members opinions, thoughts & feelings. Nothing will be determined fact untill next seasons hatchlings are sold.
