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.
1.0 bp butter "Brickle" the friendly explorer
0.1 bp champagne "Bubbles" the shy one
0.1 bp normal "Callista" the little one

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.
