What price range is your next BP purchase in?

I'm curious what range of prices snakes sell best at... someone mentioned on Kingsnake that their $1000+ snakes sell the best, and their $500 and less snakes sell the worst (like mojaves, pastels, etc).

So, out of curiosity, what is the next snake on your wish list, or the one you plan on purchasing next? What price range is it in?

Me: I'm interested in getting a Spark next. It is in the $1001 - $1500 range.

My next purchase will most likely be around 1,000.

I'm planning on breeding humblebees, and eventually want to mix axanthics/pieds into the mix, so I'm expecting about a grand per snake (averaging between purchases of course).

hmm does this include purchases of multiple snakes.. for example I am planning on getting the following 3 this year mojave, lesser, Pied - together these will run me 1500-2000 but alone the pied will run me close to 1000.

so am I in the 1500-2000 category or the 1000 category? LOL

Can't wait to get me a Phantom in 2012. To the OP I believe Het pumas (sparks) run about $3000 for males not sure on the female price.

Yeah? I was wondering that too. I haven't seen any het puma that low ever. Males are still $3-3500 females $45-5000.

Going to an expo today, but I'm only allowed to spend $50 (getting a het albino male).

When I have the money, my next purchase(s) will be:

0.1 Pastave
0.1 Enchi
0.1 Fire
0.1 Lemonblast

So around the $251 - $500 range per snake.

my next two snakes are going to be a spider and a pastel

$600 - $1000. I need to pick up a Pied.

My next purchase is going to be a desert. So $2500 for the male. Though i would like to own a female still. The male fits better into my breeding plans.

just picked up my pastel axanthic and pied now i need a lavender albino which will cost more than 3k and a highway ball one day:)

I saw a pastel highway female for 20k on KS. Gorgeous snake!

We will be getting a Desert Ghost soon. If not then sooner, then our tax return should do that for us.

My next bp purchase is in the $250 to $500 price range.

My next BP will most likely be either a pied or a butterbee. Although I have a thing for lessers/butters so if I found a top-notch one, I might spend less and pick up that base morph and save a little longer for the pied or butterbee....

I want to buy a clown female, but weather that's my next actually bp purchase I'm not really sure :)

In the $1,000 range, just bought my pied and hets that are coming next week!

Next purchases will be something with albinos, then after that I want something to do with clowns! :D

I'm hoping to find a nice female pastel for under $200 at the NARBC show in Arlington this February. Or a blackback cinny girl. Until I'm further along in this hobby I don't think I'll be dropping big bucks on snakes. XD

The next snake I plan to buy will cost me under $1000. What I'm looking to get is a really nice female black pastel.

My next purchase will be either a Clown or?het Clown male or a Champagne het Hypo or Desert male.

It'll be a looong time before I can drop more than $1500 on a snake, and that's at my upper limit. I'm breeding for the fun of it, and not as a business so it cuts out my need for high dollar snakes (as much as I may want them, LOVING the puzzle project over at EbN). A diverse collection is also more appealing to me, so I'm having to decide between a couple species as well as my breeding projects when I'm considering new additions. Subocs, starting a CBB viper boa project, Dominican red mountain boas, RTBs, Brazilian Rainbow boa, croc skinks, BTS, and red tegu are all tied up at the moment along with a female fire het axanthic, male pastel axanthic, and humblebees as my next additions. Decisions decisions....

My purchase that I'm currently working on is a male firefly. Definitely falls in the $500-$1000 range. He will be my most expensive purchase to date.

zero... Not going to buy anymore!! Ok not true... Female pieded Some black pastels... Cant say the cost just willing to pay what it take for the ones I like.

Well I guess ill add to this thread. My next/first purchase will probably be the 0.10 normals for my phantom/desert males (future of course) which would probably be $200 at most, or my 0.1 hc albino het vpi ax and 1.0 vpi ax het hc albino "snow" pair which will probably be about $2,000-2,500 I hope.

Either a female Pastave, or Bumblebee. Killer Bee if the prices come down a little.

$1000/$1200
Gonna jump on the genetic stripe combos...hopefully get some co-dom hets. for 2012

Vanilla!....Just purchased her actually from Mark Petros so I'll fill you all in when I get her. Don't want to discuss price though lol, but around vanilla female price.

I'm looking to add a male pastel pied to my collection next year. I'm hoping I can keep it around $2K but I'm super picky about how much white I want a pied to have and how the pattern is broken out. :D

Think our next pick up's are going to be in the 5K - 10K range. I'd like to get Desert Ghost into some projects, and also like to get some enchi Pied stuff going..

Haven't shopped them in a year or two but I figure that is the price range.

mine is in the 1500-2k range but thats for a 1.1 caramel her ghost

Mine is going to be between $500-1000
BUT, I included the snake, (spider) and the Rack I am going to be buying.

And to your post, I understand why big breeders sell more of the expansive snakes, because a lot of us buy them to breed, and "lower" priced snakes IMO get seen more as pets. Either way. We have to love all of them. :) Even the Wild Types!

I want to know where you're finding Spark (het Puma) males for $3,000? the lowest I'm finding is $7,500.

Anyway, that's what I'm getting next. A spark male and a breeder YB female! Come on Pumas!

too late to edit, but that's what I hope/expect to get next....

This week or next I will be picking up a double het albino pied male for $200. After that it will be in the $500-$600 range for a vpi axanthic female(het albino maybe) and either a bumblebee, honeybee or spider het albino male. Maybe a cinny and/or albino female....

my next ball python purchase is a group purchase. A Female pied het lavender albino, a male lavender albino het pied and a proven female double het. Still working out the deals but it ought to set me back a pretty penny

Im like 80% sure that my next purchase will be a male bumblebee...
Soooo $350-500 range?

Well... If dreams could come true and money grew on trees I would get a banana <3

Next Major Purchase for me falls in the $2k-5k Range, Female Pastel Clown Sub-Adult.

Next purchase will be 2 Lemonblast Females or a Phantom Female.

Trey

I voted for the $250-$500 range since I have a lesser female that I have my eyes on. Hopefully she'll still be available when I'm ready to start collecting again! (Gotta get my tattoo finished now so new snakie additions are currently on hold) ;)

My 2 major purchases this year are most likely going to be a het Toffee male and a Pastel Specter or Specter combo of some sort.

Hard choice here... what is in my realistic price range is a female pastel BUT I want a lesser or butter female more for my mojave male ;) decisions decisions...

I hope this year will go for Ivory female or Firefly :)

My wish list for 2012 is a super reduced pattern clown, lavender albino or an ultramel. I definitely won't get all of those this year, but it is what I'll be looking for.

I have a few planned purchases but I may decide to hold off and save up my money for something a bit nicer. Originally my next purchase was going to be a baby albino female. I was planning on getting one next year (I have a non bp purchase first) but depending on whether we move into a house with cheaper rent, I may choose to save up my money and get something in the $500-1000 range in the summer or fall of 2013.

$1500-$2000 I'm not decided. I'm thinking about a mystic/phantom female or adding a female something het clown.

Got my eye on a beauty around 2k shhhh don't tell the wife

$2000-$2500 range. Female Champagne het. Ghost. We actually just put the deposit on her today and should be getting her in the next couple weeks!!! :D

Hopefully getting a pewter this year, but am also looking at spider or pinstripe. ;)

my next purchase is wayy over 10k, Axanthic Banana Spider Pastel Yellow Belly Clown Pied!
