Re: Most worth animal in your collection
Umm why does it matter what you pay for a snake. If you like it then buy it, I think most could care less what kind of money one has spent on their collection.

Re: Most worth animal in your collection
It doesn't really matter to me how much I spend.. If I like the snake I will buy it (within reason of course... don't want to go bakrupt). I've spent the most on my Pewter, Loki. But the snake I spent the least on is starting to become my favorite (Shh).. :)

Relax, man. It's just a fun question. Just a chance to laugh at how stupid we were for paying that much for something we could have gotten cheaper, or to show off our mean deal-finding skills. And someone can come here to see what kind of deals exist on these guys. No one's saying their animals aren't worth the money they payed for them. I love my $80 python as much as I would have if he was $35.

Congratulations to admitting to a crime on the internet, where all of your information can pretty easily be traced. :) Knowingly purchasing stolen goods is a crime. Hopefully for you, you heard incorrectly.

I don't feel any of my purchases were stupid, and many I paid over normal market value for. My purchases have all been well thought out. With that said, my lemon pastel Winston was $800 when I purchased him in 2006. I've been offered $1500 to $2000 for him since then over the years - once while sitting on the BP.net table in Daytona.
I don't care about "deals". I only care about the animal, and I'm extremely picky about the looks of my animals - so I'm willing to pay more for them.

Re: Most worth animal in your collection
I paid $1000 for my male spider several years ago. No regrets...he's priceless! :D

You just called out a bunch of very passionate reptile lovers.(Stupid) I find it offensive I guess you believe in low balling, people like that do not get taken serious take that thinking to your local flea market.

Re: Most worth animal in your collection
My '08 Bell Line Pastel female for $600 (with shipping and holding fees) and soon to be a female Spider het Orange Ghost for $750

Re: Most worth animal in your collection
Just picked up a 08 750g Mojave female for $700, 08 mojave male 2 years ago for $350 and a 08 lesser male for $550 2 years ago crazy how much the market fluctuates.

Re: Most worth animal in your collection
Guys Guys Guys... calm down I am not asking for the actual prices of the animal, I am asking for Pics. I just want to see the holy grail in your collection. You dont even have to buy it, maybey you hatched it out, or an animal that changed to the better over the years.
Or if your holy grail cost less than another post it. I just want to see pics of the best example of morph/normal in your collection. ;)
-
Re: Most worth animal in your collection
Oh and my Dumeril's female, might be worth as much as the spider, more or less.
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/t...427101703a.jpg
Those two are probably worth the most out of anything else in my collection.
And well hey, posting prices gives a good idea on what you paid for to get what you got, so I think it's actually good they are posting what they paid for because it can give other newer members an idea of pricing if they were looking into a certain morph or species.

Then was I not calling myself stupid as well? I bought a normal for $80 that I could have gotten for $30. Yeah, I'd say that was pretty stupid, but that doesn't mean I regret it. And you never say "Nice move, stupid" or "Stupid move, dude" when hanging out with your friends? Maybe you're not supposed to take me so seriously. :/
I don't believe in "low balling". I believe in getting the best quality for the best price, and in saving money. I'm not exactly rich so if there are two snakes that look of equal quality and they're different prices, I'm going for the cheaper one. Then I have more money to spend on supplies for them, or gas, or food....
Sheez. Less than a week and I've already made enemies.

No matter what you knew at the time of purchase, if you bought stolen animals it is still a crime. It's called receiving stolen property.:colbert: You probably wouldn't be charged because you didn't know, but the fact that you know now and have said nothing might change a prosecutors mind.

Re: Most worth animal in your collection
Grow up guys. It was a light hearted fun question. Thicken that skin up a bit. Sometimes you guys get offended at the most ridiculous stuff when you know there was no ill intent...
Most expensive snake I own will be next week! A melanistic albino Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, as well as a Caramel Albino one! :)

A melanistic albino? Isn't that an oxymoron?

IF your snakes were stolen they do not belong to you. You would have paid a thief, and if they were stolen and if the original owner was found, legally they would be returned back to the original owner. Paying for stolen items doesn't count as ownership because the thief never HAD ownership to sell.
Again, if this rumor isn't true this isn't a big deal for you. That's exactly why I said I hope you heard incorrectly in my original message.

Normal albino Crotalus atrox (WDB)

Melanistic on the left, melanistic albino on the right. These two were from the same litter of babies. The one on the right is the one I'll be picking up from a friend who produced these :)

Re: Most worth animal in your collection
Wow Anthonym, those are good looking snakes!

Re: Most worth animal in your collection
That rattlesnake is gorgeous, but they have faces that scream "don't mess with me!" :O:P
After a nice discount from a fellow BP.netter, my Mojave ended up costing exactly the same as my Spider... so these are the two most expensive snakes, at least until I finish paying off a Lesser girl (hopefully in a month or two). :cool:

$1350, female from 2009 @ The Boa Barn in Baltimore, MD
Well worth it... she is gorgeous and *knock on wood* has never yet refused a meal. Our best feeding ball python, by far.
Second most expensive was Anne, our '07 albino ball. We paid $800 for her back then. She has held her pattern more and is very high contrast to this day.
