Not that I would ever sell her! She is one of those snakes I'll never part with. I was just wondering how the money of my snakes has changed since I bought them.

In 2004 people would die to get their hands on a male Pinstripe for 25k.:taz::taz:

All snakes go down in value over time. You have to consider what you produced from that animal to decide whether or not it was a sound "investment".

BG would say your snake is still worth at least what you paid for it. Now just breed her and you'll be in the black for sure.:gj:

I remember someone posting once that pinstripes would hold their value because they where being marketed to a select group with tight price controls. Seems to me like that pretty much insures a big price drop eventually and something like the lowly ghost that never has been very expensive has lost the lease relatively of any morph. Basically high prices spur more production and artificially high prices through price fixing just stoke the production fire for longer. Pinstripe is now at the point where they are high on my want list and if I could have just sold my female mojave for cash quick enough at the last show I would have picked up a female pinstripe.
