Scaleless hets sold for 6 figures!

Holy smokes, $100,000+! Caught this on Facebook this morning...

Now that it's in some big breeders hands, I can't wait to see what the future holds for this morph.

Interesting stuff. Just think, 10 years ago that would have been considered a low ball offer. :O

I just found the post as well.... Wow...

Damn. Wish I had that cash to throw around. I'd buy a house so I could have a snake room.

I'd pay off my student loan and be able to afford a whole 'nother Master's Degree with that. Dang.

Wow, I understand it though. I'd like to see it out of egg, I'm wondering if they lack pits like the old ones.

Well... If Wilbanks is willing to throw down triple digits on some hets, you've got to assume they're going to work out.

I doubt somebody with the knowledge and reputation of a Mike Wilbanks would throw out that much on a gamble. I wouldn't anyway.

Mike Wilbanks won Make an Offer Day.

Well, maybe in a decade I'll be able to buy one.

Who is the bigger breeder Wilbanks or BHB..just wondering.

6 in one, half a dozen in the other. Probably BHB, but they're both huge.

$100k... That's all? I figured it would have been double that.

It just said six figures. That first digit could be anything.

Wilbanks produces more ball pythons hands down

stupid in my opinion. why would you want to reproduce an animal with so many probable health issues....oh yeah, I forgot....greed, nevermind.

I'm sure they know more about them than we do considering all we have is a pic of one in the egg still...

Wow, that's insane. That means I won't be able to afford one for at least 10 years.

More has been paid for animals that were 100% known to have severe health issues... It is not greed it is a business and those animals are the future of this industry. The ones recently produced could very well be 100% fine and just need assistance shedding, we do not know because none of us were there to see the animals and we will not see them in person for a very long time.
