Hi, I thought i had better post something as my name is on this thread already. 
It is a shame that the prices on the Carpet morphs drop so quickly, but, this is bound to happen to a snake that is so easily Bred, hatched, started etc. Not to mention the big clutches they have, and the 100s of people that own and will breed them soon.
The people that have been breeding them for years are still holding onto 1 and 2 year old animals, so surely the price needs to drop. And as for space to keep babies, who has got the space to keep loads and loads of carpets that eat really well and grow very quickly, in this respect they deffinately are not anything like Royals.
Please note that the Jags that I have for sale for £300 + on my website are not jungle jags or Irian jaya jags, they are both crossed together, so it would have been wrong of me to put them up for much more money. (I will take more money if offered  )
Thanks, Steve

That's the big difference a lot of people don't realise, the ball python market is huge and that's just with normals. We are years away from being able to produce enough normal babies each year let alone colour mutations.
Yes without doubt prices will always change, not always down either  I must admit it does sound crazy when you think the first spiders in the UK were over the $20'000 EACH and in less than 6 years they are now available at prices as low as £450. But what a lot of 'knockers' (those that laugh at the prices failing etc) have forgotten is that those 'pioneers' sold their first babies also at a high price, pretty much getting 5 times the money they had spent on that one snake & and that was just in the first year
