What should I get at the expo?

A week today is the expo here and I was wondering what you peeps would get? I'm thinking of getting a male Calider but was just wondering what would you get if you had $1200 CDN to spend? So far my collection is a male/female pieds, female Pewter, male Spider and a female het OG.
Thanks ahead for the input

Get what you like and want. It's your money,why would you want some one else telling you what to buy.

my opinion is I'd never waste $1200 on a snake or a dog or a cat,lol,but if your breeding and it's a business that's cool,if not,to me that's a waste of money IMO atleast.

most I'd probably spend on a snake would be $500.00 max and that's iffy,prob more like $250-$300. Money isn't the issue either.

I would buy what tickles your fancy. As far as money goes, I see no problem spending whatever you want on anything. If it is worth it to you, it doesn't matter what others think.

I've spent quite a bit on my last two females and my next two are around that same 800-1k mark. If you're going to only spend 500 max, you're either waiting a LONG time for prices to come down that far for the newer/neater morphs, or you're only playing in the shallow end of the pool with basic morphs.

I say get what you want and what works towards your breeding goals. Us saying our opinion is what is going to help our own collections, not yours. It's like saying your going to a restaurant and asking us what we would want so you can decide what you should get. If a male caliber is what your collection needs, go get him. Just post pictures. :)

I'd say get a male that is visual ghost plus something else. A het ghost doesn't do anything for you on her own. A Calider is pretty, but I don't see a point in having two males with spider in them.

A super pastel female would set you up for easy bumblebees. Or a visual OG anything could make use of your het OG girl.

Also, any pewter combos you like you could add the other pieces to breed to your pewter.

1200 CND is close to 1200 USD. thats some serious money.

not just a super pastel female :) the budget is to good for something as basic as that.

banana/coral glow will soon be within reach. i dont know up to date prices for it, but possibly also GHI. Both are really awesome morphs and are coming down in price really quickly.

or, since you have male and female pied, you could get another female pied. maybe a female pied with some extra gene, or a female 100% het pied with more than one extra genes.

and if you want more of the classic codominant/dominant base morphs that have come down in price, think about a very nice triple gene combo or a super form + extra gene. stuff like ivory, sterling, super fire, BEL, all well within budget.

for 1200 you can get one BP that is really fancy, either with lots of genes or with one rather new and amazing gene, but you could also get 2 or 3 still very decent BPs.

Thanks I also got a sneek peek at a 2013 male Albino Mojave

How about idc about breeding and having triple gene het morph this and that,I could care less about that. I get what I like and enjoy having them as pets. The only reason. I don't find it impressive that you spend that type of cash on snakes,unless like I said its a business and your making money,other words,still a waste of money to me.

This still isn't about you.

You've got some good suggestions here, to make a plan of purchase for the expo.

Personally, as just a pet, since you already have some balls, I would get a minitor, tortoise, or maybe a hybrid or another python species.

Some people spend $1200 on snakes. You don't agree with it. So don't. Simple as that.

Some people avoid OP's questions and just stick their own opinion in, in a completely uncalled for manner.... I don't agree with that, but i won't stop you from doing it! :salute:

OP: i would get a hypo something to breed to the pewter and het hypo. I LOVE my fire hypo boy's looks, lmk if you wanna see pics of him. More hypo fires and fire pewters het hypo would be cool morphs to hatch if you plan on breeding down the road! I really like hypo anything though. A hypo lesser male or hypo enchi male would be cool too. :gj:

Clown female! :)

I just want to say I'm not trying to impress anyone with my limit, i'm just asking for my range what the best option would be.

- - - Updated - - -

I don't think I'll find a Clown sadly

With your lineup already I would say "personally" I would get either a clown (because they are my favorite), codom het pied (male or female since you have homozygous both) or something orange ghost male. Depends on your other snakes sizes I would say. You can probably find a nice female clown and get her shipped for 1200 if you are lucky.

Thanks very much !!! what do you think about an Albino Mojave?

Why are you hatin so much on people that want to spend money on snakes??? You have a lot of heart saying stuff like that on THIS forum. And if you hadnt noticed, triple gene this, and het morph that, as well as 1000's of dollar snakes is ALL we talk about on this forum ALL DAY LONG. Thats nice you like to keep bps as pets. Well so does everybody else here. When the OP asked what he should get thats in his budget, and all you can say is its a waste of money????! Really.... Why dont you find a drug or government forum and take your soapbox over there. :what:

I'd pass on the albino mojave male.
I'd get a visual OG male for your female, maybe Pastel Orange Ghost...personally I love mojave and cinnamon og's, but thats just me.
and...you could breed him (cinnamon og) to your pewter bp female and possibly get super cinnies!

its just a fact of life that some people have more money than others, jealousy gets you nowere.

one of my friends just got his first airplane; a few years earlier he spent 5000 for a realistic multi-screen flight simulator cockpit. and i still need to save up a bit to get seriously started with BPs. im not jealous and dont "female dog" about it and maybe one day he will fly me around over the mediterranean coastlines. two of my friends are on the verge of becoming millionaires, they dont look down on me and im not jealous, and so it doesnt affect the friendship at all.

and when another breeder in my town has the money to get some genetically really awesome BPs for hobby breeding, im all for it because when he produces hatchlings in a few years, i have a shot at getting some really nice stuff cheaply.

Being jealous just creates barriers and gets you absolutely nowhere. There is too much random chance involved in life choices; arrogance, jealousy, or self-pity just dont make sense when you understand this.
