How much have you paid for ball python morph?

inspired by the " How much would you pay for a ball python morph?" thread. i was just wondering how much have you guys paid for a ball python.

as for me 3k for a female mojave

gogogo ppl

tell me your story

There is a gap between 2000 and 3000...

I payed 2500 for a Fire ball male last year. But then I got a lemon pastel female for free becuse of some troubles with the shipment.

I spent $800 on my lesser and $600 on my black pastel.

The most I have paid was $5,000 for a pair of het albino ball pythons from Bob Clark back when the albino ball was brand new.

Adult Lavender 2 years ago.

I'm assuming that the big money spenders were getting them for breeding?

I guess I've found out I'm poor. :O :tears: :rolleyes:
Most I've paid is 250.00 so far.


Can't wait till I get some big money. :rofl:

Very nice good choice im sure they have made daddy very happy haha

Not that much, around 2 grand on a het pied female several years ago, seemed like a lot of money at the time for a normal looking snake. Still haven't produced a pied yet, maybe this year. I'm just a hobbyist and this isn't how I make my living so I don't have to worry about being first to market and can wait a few years for prices to drop. As long as I can get the cool morphs eventually, I'll be satisfied.

Amen :gj:

$2000 for an '06 Lesser male, that due to an R.I., was too small to breed this year.

$1800 for an '06 pinstripe female with nearly perfect double stripes along her spine.

$1000 for an extremely blushed '06 Mojave female.

The Lesser and Mojo are in my gallery.

i think i'm at about 3k total so far.

I blew $15,000 once on a ball python :rolleyes:

I don't remember the year(s) but here are some of the animals I purchased when they were worth a lot more than they are now. And I will state this up front. I have no regrets about what I paid. I may have paid 3-4-5 times the current values but I am also 3-4-5 times ahead on producing more of them.
$12,500.00 for an adult pied
$10.000.00 for a 2.1 trio of 100% het lavender albinos
$6.500.00 for a yearling spider
$$$ A WHOLE LOT for a crystal & a pastel crystal
FYI
The first albino boas were around $50.000.00
The first cb veiled chameleons were $750.00 a pair for hatchlings
The first cb albino burmese were around $3,500.00

5K on a pied female, and worth every penny. :D

Neil

$3800 last spring on a Bee. He is earning his keep this season to say the least!! He is a solid breeder and could "BEE" the chief ingredient to a Killer or two. And just maybe something even more striking.

It was definitely a good deal. Even though you can get them cheaper now, he will make back all of that money before he dies. If I were to sell everything that he produced last year (including combos), he probably would have paid for himself already.

I'll have to agree with you on this one Justin.

Ive spent $2400 on a reverse trio of het pieds..and this will my first shot at producing one...(5 eggs cooking) Ive also spent $3200 on a mojave male and have only produced 1 so far...$2800 on a female spider that still hasnt reached her breeding weight. and a cinny male for $7000..
But things are still good as in the long run they will produce more than I paid for them...:D

$1400 including shipping for my lesser male.

The most I have paid so far is $250 for my male spider, but I am still in college so I cant afford to spend the big bucks yet. One day though.....

$600 for an '05 male pastel in 2006.

$2k on a pastel female several years ago. She was just on the edge of breeding weight for this season and I decided to hold back. The breeder offered me two normal females to go with her as part of the deal. At the time I didn't think I had enough setup for all three, so I only took one of the normals. I got home, set everybody up and then realized I could have set up both normals, oh well.

The most I've spent is $1500 0n my 06 albino,

In 03 I spent about $20,000 on a G.Stripe.

I also paid $25,000 for a pair of Black Pastels.

I've spent around $15,000 in Pastels

$15,000 for a pair of Blonde Pastels 100% het Hypo.

The list goes on...

I got a free Het Ivory with all the needed things, tank, accesories, etc...

some pictures would go excellently with the prices

I be Poor!! The most I've spent so far was nearly $400 for my 100% het Albino pair. The female alone was $300, and that was a markdown. :) I'm hoping to make that money back (and possibly more) next year with those two.

My pastel male was handed to me for nothing, and now he's doing so well I wouldn't have regretted paying $200 for him!

I've only paid $235 including shipping for my pastel male, who hopefully will be ready to go in the 08-09 season. If I get even one baby this year, I'll be ecstatic! Pastel or not! (Of course, I hope for pastels... :3 )

However I plan on dropping some more money on a spider or a cinny ooooooorrrr....somethin' special.

I paid $3500 for a 500 gram female spider back in 05 and $3500 for a hatchling mojave male in the same year. They both were worth every penny at the time. Then theres the boa morphs but that's a whole other story and forum. :)

Sam Leam

$25 for my normal female :P

But i'm just starting... thinking of getting a pastel next to pair with her!

baby steps hehe

$350 for this male albino last year. Notice that he has a slight imperfection near his nech\k, had him checked out and its no big deal. Very happy with my purchase

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/f...z/scion025.jpg

Hit the wrong one by accident because we bought two snakes at the same time.

$600 for a female pinstripe.

The second most expensive purchase was a male Spider for $300.

Around $800 for a pair of hypos......no budget here for the crazy expensive stuff.

300.00 on my mystery female pastel. I say mystery because she looks nothing like any other pastel I have ever seen. I picked her up in a pet store. one day we will she what she's hiding.

I paid just over $300 for mine shipped to my door and trying to decide what I want next... Either an Albino or a Spider female and try to make some bees....

Well, now 5k on my Bel

Well I paid 600 for my 07 bino male. Hes my most expensive at the moment. but then i have my mojo, cinny, 2 pastels, and a bino rtb. Its really amazing how fast ur money disappears when you get into herps. I walked outta the last expo having spent 1100 bucks and still owing several hundred more to a few ppl. lol. All part of the herp experience.....And worth every single penny.

80$ on my normal bp... but i'm seriously considering getting a piebald. Just looking around at prices and for breeders right now. :rolleyes:

between the San Diego and Anaheim shows last year i picked up 1.1 pied and 1.1 het pieds for a total of 3000 but i spent much more and Liza no Likey

Most I have paid is 1700.00 for three snakes, my limit would be around 1500.00 for any one snake, and that would take some planning well in advance.

I would go higher when the day comes that I can produce enough to sell, that would then pay for a higher priced morph.

Gotta love trading those possible het males for feeders and a enough for a beer on the trip home. Those sales are not going to net me a lavendar anytime soon. :)

Bruce

$6500 for a male Cinnamon and $3500 for an almost adult female pastel (actually 2 for 7k) in 05. This last year was the cinnamons first year breeding and babies are selling for 2-300. Kinda not happy about the purchase because of the prices now but I don't mind...he'll still EVENTUALLY make my money back. lol

I paid 850$ for my female Mojave last year
but
she is round about 1300g today ;)

Being in the UK, prices are different here. But, my biggest purchase will be $6000 for a pair of Balls from Mr. Kobylka!
