What do you guys think of Angolan pythons? What is a good price for a pair of babies? breedable adults?
Are they worth the investment?

I love my Angolan, and will be getting his future girlfriend next week (very excited) :gj: I think they're a good investment and I would look at at least 1K for a baby pair on up depending on size. It does take them awhile to mature. When Photobucket gets back up I'll post some pics of my male.

I love angolans! It's damn near impossible to get them up here in Canada, and it's illegal to import them so I really can't help you for pricing. But that is my ultimate goal, is to get my hands on Angolans. Personally, I think once everyone has exhausted the ball python and boa market - this is where people will turn, along with blood pythons. Just my :twocents:

Yet again I'll say it to antagonize Mike but handling an Angolan is awesome feeling, imagine a tiny little cobblestone road and that's what their back scales feel like. I don't have one myself so my experience comes from babysitting my gf's while she cleans tubs and the like.

Off topic a little but I think the carpet market is starting to take off. Every day I see more and more getting into the different localities and their crosses.

The west does have a few! Your right! And there are some in BC. But ZERO that I have heard of in Ontario :( - I think I read somewhere that they import laws have changed in regards to reptiles into the country but I wouldn't even know where to start my research on that.

I saw one female at the last White Plains Show in NY show for $600. It was about two feet long.

I want one!!!! I saw one someone was selling on a Facebook group for like $500, it was an adult male. I had no money though and don't really need anything else to feed rats right now :( One day...
