    Exclamation Where are all the crazy expensive and rare BP's?

    who buys them? where are these snakes?

    i'm talking about 5 or 6-figure snakes. when a breeder hits a crazy Clown or Pied combo, hatches a Panda or Paradox, where does it go? if the odds gods grants someone a Scaleless or Sunset, does it just goes in some wealthy person's private collection, shuttered from public eye?

    i wish i could see more pix of these expensive and rare BP's. where are they? i want pix and updates.

    There are 2 primary groups purchasing them.

    Breeders are the common people, they spend thousands on snakes because they stand to make back their money and more over the course of a project. Thus they are squirreled away and you don't see them.

    Particularly wealthy individuals who like the unique look of the animal. These tend to be favored pets of the wealthy due to their value. Some are likely to share photos, others are not. But those photos are probably on personal social media accounts, and not everyone has access to them.

    I'm convinced they disappear into never, never land. I still want to see a picture of an adult homozygous scaleless.

    I think you're gonna have to wait a year or two for that. BHB sure isn't going to be the one to release adult pics. Winston or Mike are probably your best bets.

    it's funny u said that b/c Michael Jackson's oldest son actually has a large collection of reptiles including big snakes: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...-vest-top.html maybe he's the one hoarding all the cool BP's at Neverland Ranch.
