Well I was browsing the URS website (looking for new heating equipment for winter) and I noticed that their GTP's are only $1400!
So is this the trend? are we going to see our expensive herps drop in price like a ton of bricks been thrown out the Empire state building?
Sure it's great for people that want certain herps but don't have the money for it, but wont this open up the doors too more controversial herps, such as the popular hybrids? A few months ago I saw the relatively new pythons, the rough scales, been sold for $1 500 at Snake ranch, and just now at URS I saw them for only $500.
Maybe I am just paranoid lol, but I was looking forward to spending $4000+ next year on some GTP's, now it looks like I will have enough for them, some albino's, their enclosures.... heck throw in some roughies too... but will they make the same amount of profit (for when I breed them) as they would now? So the price drop has it's cons cause the snakes that currently cost more also make the best return, perfect if your like me and dream of going into a friendly reptile breeding business.
Watch, A load of the best breeder will jump into designer snakes and yes, this means Hybrids... and then what? It seems that we are heading the same way as the Americans, soon to have the government trying to ban the recreational husbandry of pythons.
It's late and it seems like I had 4cents in my pocketm:lol:
