because breeders no that people will pay the money for them, all morphs within time will cost next to nothing, just look at how little some of the corn morphs only cost now but they were silly money at 1 point

Give It A Year Or Two, And They'll Drop Atleast 50% or more.

Yeah, Im Sticking With The Normals For Now. Not just for the fact as I never have the money. Haha.

I Can't say I know the prices of them, I was just going over them in general. I can't see myself getting a high end morph, Although the Mojaves are stunning. But purely for apperience. I think many people buy them for investments. It's a time bomb in my opinion though, as the value drops hugely.

They Arnt,

When u look at the whole situation YB arnt really that expensive, considering that a pair could give u a Ivory.... which i thinks one of the nicest morphs.... then YB's are very well priced IMO.

I am actually a much bigger fan of Natural types anyway, I only own one morph, my Albino Burm. There's a few snake with morphs I would like but for the most part I fine natural types more appealing

Their price is the result of the relationship between supply and demand. So they aren't really expensive (or cheap for that matter)...they are exactly the price they should be based on that relationship at any given moment.
