Blueys maybe cheap as chips now, but in thousands of years when humanity can no longer live of Earth. The price of them will be sky high!
Technically cheaper then chips as i have to pay for my chips.Blueys maybe cheap as chips now, but in thousands of years when humanity can no longer live of Earth. The price of them will be sky high!
It seems every year the common ( eastern ) blue tongue skink has been getting cheaper and cheaper gradually at where it is now the point of them being given away for free in an increasing amount of cases. With the price of feeding these animals ( not the cheapest etc because of their diet and appetite ) to raise and house i just wonder how many people will actually just start throwing these poor creatures away. Also with the growing amount of morphs in blueys and their prices slowly starting to drop it makes me curious as to what lies for the common python etc childrens.

I dont think anyone keeps normal blueys to make money or for what their financial worth is... ten years ago they were still cheap as chips.... though you do raise a good point with unwanted pets that cant be sold, as reptiles usually outlive the keepers desire to keep them.
Probably a similar thing that's happened with crossbred dogs: They'll be worth nothing, and destroyed in the thousands annually, until some bright spark has the idea to give a poorly bred animal a fancy label, then they'll be worth squillions, but people will still throw them away. Tiliquoodle anyone?
I hate people.
