in a response to a post on this thread: http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17603 by Ailsa I thought I'd make a new post to reply rather than face the wrath of the mods for posting c**p on someone elses classified ad.

Pied sided bloodred is relatively new so there is currently more demand than there is supply hence the high price (simple economics).

The prices vary greatly according to how much white is present, more means a higher price.

eg:

this low expression.....


will fetch far less than this high expression....


so not quite gold plated, just a high demand for something different and still quite rare.

It's simple really, supply and demand.
It's like, diamonds cost a lot, because they are rare. Some diamond are not as clear/pretty as others, so are worth less, whilst other are crystal clear and finely cut, a higher quality, so are worth more than the lesser quality ones.
And, if diamonds become more widely and easily avalaible, they'd be worth less, as there are much more of them.
Pop snake morphs in where appropiate and bingo!

I certainly felt that commont was innapropiate!

What Eeji said, some folks just have no sense of humour. Think most saw it for what it was though.

i might be answerin my own question here, but am i right in thinking that low expression/high expression is something to do with the white of the underside showing higher on the side of the snake???
