Well, my face is sure red on this one!!

I'm glad you called me on my statement, as it is completely false! I thought I was remembering correctly, but I was actually remembering statements made by a certain breeder regarding Palmettos (not selling for a few years, only a few at a time, and $4000); said breeder has no statement regarding Tessera snakes on his website as of now.

Again, good catch...s'pose I owe you a Palmetto now, huh?

LOL I was reading this conversation and thinking that's exactly what I remembered the palmetto guy saying.... and sure enough that's where you got it from. Haha. Funny how our brains mix things up like that.

I think it's crazy he wan't 4k and ISNT selling many, and only females, etc, because for people to make their money back they WILL have to flood the market. Buy a female for 4K, can't turn a profit for a minimum of 6 years... yeah... stupid idea if you ask me. I think we can expect to see a flood of them in 9 years when the first buyers have loads of pairs set up

I think he probably just doesn't have too many right now, give him a year or two until he can establish a sizeable breeding population and I'm sure he'll be selling loads to make as much money as possible before other breeders begin to flood the market with them.

No he purposely only is making and selling so many, there's an article he wrote about what he's doing. He's only selling females so people can't take a male knock up loads of females. :S Quite an investment for anyone interested in getting this morph going.
