    Price Range of Morphs?
    The cheapest morph I seem to be able to find are pastel males for ~$700, Does anyone have an idea what the most expensive snake morph currently is?

    Does anyone have an idea what the greatest amout of money spent on a bp morph ever was?

    I've seen BEL's listed at 100k-200k...but as far as I know, a BEL is a BEL. I would think the hottest and expensive breedable morph would be a platty/lesser platty, which you see for 35-55k.

    But what do I know? Not much! =D

    Blue eyed lucys and black eyed lucys have both been priced over $100k.

    ....but you also have to consider the cost of bringing those suckers out of Africa $$$$

    That number gets thrown out a lot, but I doubt if more than one or two were ever purchased for that amount, if that.

    Lessers have dropped considerably since last year, and I wouldn't be surprised if you saw a few BEL going for $30-40K later this year. I would think some of the mixed morphs would go for much more like a Lavender Albino/Super Cinny if and when someone makes one. :P

    What do you think the Lav. Albino x Super Cinny will look like? Just curious...

    I think BEL usually refers to Blue, but I may be wrong...

    I'm hoping an all lavender snake, but I'd be just as excited with an all yellow snake although you could probably get that with a regular albino as well.

    I can't imagine the stress keeping an animal worth that much. I bet he didn't go on vacation too much after he got it home. :P

    I understand that Fireballs are the Hetrozygote carriers need to obtain a Black Eyed Leucy.....My question is do Fireballs look that different from Wild-type to constitute being named a morph? Maybe its just the pics I saw but a fire doesnt look that different from a normal to me....but I am new to this....

    Maybe you have to see them in person? Or maybe a pic with a normal and a fire in it side to side would show demonstrate the difference to me better?

    Hey Adam, how difficult was it to get insurance for your business? I mean, you'd have to insure the snakes and facility, right? Do insurance companies go "wth, snakes?!" or not even bat an eye? Just curious...

    I was able to find a VERY AWESOME insurance agent that put in the work and got it done for me. But it ain't cheap. ;)

    Fires are a "visible het" and do look different enough from a wild type.

    Thanks for the pic...Now I see the difference! I like the light, almost purplish hue they have to them! They look great!

    I squished the picture down to make it fit better. He is not as chunky as he looks...lol. He's an 05 at ~500 grams and was not bred this year. He's ready though and will probably make some nice babies next year.
