    Re: I must be Terminal Garter Snakes.

    Gray banded kings are beautiful. I'd have a very hard time letting them go.

    It really is incredible that most people prefer Royals to Garters. It just makes no sense on so many levels.

    I think it's because there's more money to be made breeding them and are more interested in the pretty morphs and colours than the actual animal.

    They're a bubble like dutch tulip bulbs. People look at them as investments but really all they have is a $100 snake with eye appeal.


    I look at the ratio of cost of normal phenotypes to "designer" balls... I've seen baby balls for as little as $15, which means some people are using 400x markups or more for their high-end snakes. Even the most expensive garter morphs top out at about 20x.
