I bought a male enchi het sunset and a female het sunset for $35k.
Cinnibamboo male for about $17k
Lavender snow male yearling for $20k and two 2013's for a lot but I seriously don't remember how much.
Super bamboo female for less than the 30k asking price but a whole lot of money.
Super bongo for $13k or so
There's lots more under the 10k range and some more over the $10k range that are a secret for now.
So wait, you have easily more than $100,000 invested in ball pythons but you don't even have a website yet?

Actually, my website was just completed today, I believe. I haven't made the final check yet though. Now I just have to get the bank info set up and upload pics and done. I didn't think it was important to have a website up if I didnt have anything to sell. Ya' know? This isn't my first rodeo.

I wouldn't go advertising what I paid for for high dollar stuff because I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing that other people know. Just like it makes me rather uncomfortable when my roommies friends come over and wonder how much I spent on my snakes. Theft happens. It's not hard to stuff a ball python in your coat and walk off. Or smash a window.

Judging by the coin you drop I'd guess this isn't your first rodeo lol.
Btw, wanna race your vette vs my stang for pinks?

Very true but I don't let anyone over to the shop. Also, most of the snakes I bought were publicly advertised. So, I don't see the point in hiding it. I hope it lets you guys see that I have nothing to hide, that I'm honest about my business and hopefully it will earn me some sales in the future.

I would spend any amount of money if I saw a promising dinker project, or a wild caught with a promising new gene bc then i have the rights and only one breeding that snake and I could surly charge what I paid for a single clutch and after that the price would go down bc of course there will be others breeding my clutch now. Im sure any breeder out there would pay a lot of money to get there hands on a new gene snake, it would be a dream come true most are passionate who breed and its not about the money so it would be great to know that you where the first to own that specific gene.

Living from paycheck to paycheck and with plenty of animals around my apartment already, (Well if I didn't have all my animals I would spend 1k), but in reality I would top about $300 for a firefly, love the pattern.

The most I HAVE spent was $750. The most I WOULD spent depended on the market, and my finances.

Under 500 - maybe a little more for a really pretty snake that caught my attention.
Pretty sure I'm an outlier, but I'm not interested in breeding and as pretty as I find some of the morphs, they're still just ball pythons. BP aren't particularly display animals, and as far as 'pet' goes, the paint job doesn't make that much difference. Offer me the right albino and I'd bump it up to more than the 500, but otherwise ... I don't think I'd spent more than 2 to 300.00, and that'd be a common morph or a bigger snake.
