I asked Brian about the Sunsets last year when they first became big news and I was really considering trying to take a loan out to breed some snakes. He did sell some of the probable hets as normals. They were $25. As far as the current price tag, I'll put it to you this way - snake or a new car, your choice. If I had the money to spend though, based on personal preference, I'd buy one of these over a scaleless for whatever that's worth to you.
