    I didn't have any idea how much my collection was worth until I saw this thread and decided to crunch the numbers. I've gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised.

    I paid $3,960 for the 19 snakes in my collection and they're worth $10,105. That's not even counting the $1490 in hatchlings I currently have up for sale. They would bring the grand total to $11,595.

    Equipment and upkeep take a good chunk out of it, but even so, that's not a bad return.

    Holy crap. That sounds like a lot of snakes!!! I have decided that in the future, I want to grow my collection's value, more than just the quantity. (high-end morphs)

    Hmm..Maybe $4,500 in animals (considering purchase value). There's a lot of give and take there though, because I am unsure on adult pricing and some animals (my adult female BPs) have probably lost value since I purchased them and some other animals, like my leachie, have increased in value since purchase. Right now I have a total of 7 "lizards" (geckos and bts) and 12 (soon to be 14) snakes.

    Equipment...Probably close to the same value considering thermostats, cages, racks, etc.

    All-in-all, this is not a cheap hobby lol. I'm not even breeding yet, but only a small portion of the numbers quoted above count as breeding investment animals. I will probably be selling off some of my collection and re-focusing on my breeding projects at some point in the near future.
    Currently keeping:
    1.0 BCA 1.0 BCI
    1.0 CA BCI 1.1 BCLs
    0.1 BRB 1.2 KSBs
    1.0 Carpet 0.5 BPs
    0.2 cresteds 1.2 gargs
    1.0 Leachie 0.0.1 BTS

    the post asks for market value, not what you paid.
