I don't even have, breed or work with coxi. They could fall to $10 each and I still wouldn't keep them. For that matter I don't even think they're Elaphe so I'm going to stay as far away from them as I have the snake with the goofy growths on their noses.

The price on coxi however shouldn't be dropping. I get the point about production, supply and demand. I can even understand how the whole thing works. Although Jim has a better point seeing that there is almost no production of the coxi. In the US people are just in too much of a rush to sell any and everything. They can't wait a whole day let alone a week.

God, or whomever you believe in has stopped production on new snakes. This means sooner or later ever snake out there is going to come down to the price it is worth. Hard to breed animals or small clutch animals like the situla will always hold their price while others will come down to $50 or $100 like everything else in the hobby.

As for the guy in Vegas, I'm not sure you thought before you spoke. Gave me the idea that you were saying, who care about how much the next guys loses as long as I made my money. Many people get these animals because they love them but they can't afford to pay the price and not make their money back.

Can you spare a little change,
