Tesseras already crashing?

Of all of the pattern genes we have discovered, Tesseras are the best by far. No two are exactly alike, which you can not say about Striped and Motley or evey Diffused.

Personally, I would have to disagree. I actually don't think there's one morph that can be pinned down as predictable. Even stripes have a long list of interesting variations. From fully striped animals to completely vanished patterns. On top of all of the morphs being bred with stripe, it just seems that the possibilities are still extraordinary (same with motley and diffused).

I like the tessera's, but I can definitely see why the price has dropped. Like Dave said, they're the quickest morph to duplicate, so it was really only a matter of (short) time before they were more common, and thus more affordable. And even then, with the (still) high prices being asked on them, I imagine even people who spent upwards of $1,000 on them are still making a profit from each clutch.

So four years of Mitt Romney is going to bring us a booming Corn Snake trade?.... I'm seriously having my doubts about that. But I'm not going to debate politics here.

But I think sometimes we forget the things we DO have. Some people across the world can hardly save up enough money to give their child bread and water everyday, and we act like we have a failed democracy that's pushing us towards having nothing at all, simply because Corn Snake morphs aren't selling at a premium price.

Michael, I think you may be missing the point here. There are several morphs which are out of my reach, and I suspect for others too. So in order for any of us to afford them, we clearly must vote for someone other than Mitt.
 
Maybe we should take away all my money and give it to the underprivileged members here so they can afford Tesseras!
 
Fun thread! I bought 5 animals year one. I haven't bred them much, because I had a hard time moving them in 2010. I did hit on some morphs this year. While my "behind the scenes" price has necessarily been lower than the commonly advertised price, that's just the way it goes as a small time breeder. Anaconda hognose are in the same boat, and that morph has a super. But there quickly became more of them than there were people with a thousand dollars in their pocket. Honestly, if either of those morphs are bringing $400 in 2012, I'd say the have FAR from crashed. Price drops on something you just invested in *can* be a good thing.
