This is at least the second time someone has linked that website as a reference to who they plan on buying from this coming year.

Keep in mind, the website says boldly, these are projected prices.

You will be getting a baby, when it hatches, may be months away. If someone is selling a 200 gram snake now, it will be far larger and further along by the time that snake is even born.

With low prices like this, tons of people will buy from him, you may have to put down a deposit to be guaranteed a snake?? not sure.



As Im sure many will say, cheaper isn't always better.

Like I said in the other thread where somone linked to Garrick's site, he has great quality animals and is a stand up guy...but like stated they are for 06's and are only projected prices. I possibly plan on purchasing a few snakes from Garrick this season but I'm by no means choosing on price alone, I have seen a few of his BPs at a couple shows and they were in spectacular shape...plus there is the option for me of driving to hand pick them since he's only a 4-5 hour drive away.

Cueball's animals definitely look well started and for the prices he posted its a great deal....and he's a member of BPnet to boot, so you know he's a great guy.

Well said guys!

Thanks man :gj:

Yeah, he is a great guy.....if I had the $$$ I'da snatched that pair up right quick!!!

Thanks photochamp! Seems like you had some great trade material available at one point?!?

Sheets12 will do his research and make the right choice for himself. Hopefully it will involve me :)

Meh. I wish I had the $$$ to pay for that pair. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I have to wonder ... if you buy a morph from the guy that's charging less than everyone else and you want to raise it up and breed it, what will that guy be charging when you're finally ready to sell offspring and make a return on your investment? .... Probably less than you'd like. ;)

Is $1500 low for an albino? The place where I got my normal sells albinos for $1400.

I got between $2,000 and $2,500 for them this year and sold out without even running a sinle ad.

I guess "low" is in the eye of the beholder. ;)
