as a hobbyist i cant justify the prices of top tier animals but it dosent make me want them any less. If i was running a business and had the cash flow to afford a 10k animal i would.

Re: What's the most you've ever spent or would spend on a single bp?
I spent $550 for my bumblebee ghi from Ken Macek. After doing a lot of research and studying my possible pairings, I'm pretty pleased with what this little guy can do. He's such a gorgeous Snake and so friendly too. I feel like 800 may be my limit, if it's a pretty good ghi combo. I was first in line for a ghi bel. But it ended up having pastel in it, do the guy bumped the price up to 1000. :/ so with this being dry season for work, I had to pass. I want a female ghi combo anyways....

The most I've spent on a ball python is $175.00 plus shipping. I doubt I'd spend more because I don't have any plans to breed fancy morphs. The ones I have make nice pets. But I have spent a lot more than that on a gecko. :D

Wow it's funny the thread started in 2007. Imagine how prices have come down on morphs some of us could had not afforded then. Wow I seen morphs I've only dreamed of price wise, become mine. :) And 750$ 850$ tops. But now days I see so much cool affordable stuff it's crazy.

Personally if I were an established ball python breeder and I had dozens of adult mature females at the ready and I was sitting on a pile of cash I'd spend up to $150,000 for a unique ball python. If it were really a one of a kind snake and I could sell the babies for even $15,000 it would pay for itself and turn a profit in no time at all. The most I spent so far for one snake is about $1,200, but I've only been in business a few years so far.

Re: What's the most you've ever spent or would spend on a single bp?
I don't ever think about spending thousands because I never plan to breed, I'm a beginner hobbyist right now. I honestly don't even see myself having more than maybe two, three snakes at the same time in the future! Haha, I like to devote my attention to a small amount of animals (like, VERY small amount) and bond with them more than having multiple and not being able to have a connection with them. No offense to those with multiple animals, I know you love them and wish the best for them, and I'm sure you're doing a great time of offering them everything that will make them happy, I'm just not good at handling that many critters at the same time and feeling great about it.
I mean, my only ball python as of now was only $210, with the $60 shipping included (snake itself was $150). I abosolutely adore him. It doesn't take fancy colors or big price tags to make me love an animal's individual beauty. So yeah, maybe $500 if I really really wanted a snake so bad lol.
But who knows! Maybe as time passes my views will change, I've found that once you step into reptiles you usually don't step back out, hehe.
