    You're not in trouble until you serisously can look at an animal and say "Hmm 4K yea that's a pretty good price".. from that point on it's just down hill..

    Loved Pieds back when they were $15k.

    Got my payment down on my Pied hatchling for $750.

    Definitely a great deal....

    ..... that my other half will not get to know for quite a while

    But then again, he drops $1-2k on 'upgrades' for his vehicles and it's nothing, haha. "New headers for the 5.7L. Downpipe and custom exhaust for the Grand Prix. Ohhh I should totally paint the truck!"

    It's all about 'what it's worth to you', I guess!

    Personally? I hate spending more than $15 on sunglasses, and $40 on new shoes

    I just spent what I made in a week on snakes, without even blinking an eye.


    But to pay $4 for a box of cereal?!?!

    Lol, I love this thread and agree with every one of you. My husband wants to spend $20 on downloads for his game and I'm thinking, what a waste! Can I get a $500 pewter girl??? Please???

    Cereal as well as vegetables.

    I can get more meat for the money the wife spends on vegetables! Who needs 'em!

    More balls are necessary anyway, haha.

    People buy champion show line pet dogs that actually do things like provide companionship for like $1500.

    My bank account is at 20 bucks the day before my paychecks. 700 for a snake? NO PROBLEM!

    Re: I think this hobby has decreased my value of a dollar

    Even though I'm a newcomer to the hobby, it took only about 2-3 months for this to set in. I can still smile even after spending $700 on a snake.

    Like others have also said, when it comes to spending $4 on a box of cereal or $7 on a 32 oz jar of peanut butter, I can only scowl and think I've been ripped off...

    I discovered this to be true at the Herp Expo (San Jose) last weekend, but luckily I didn't have ANY money to spend - even on those "great deals." In particular I found myself looking at an Angolan Python, one of my dream snakes, and saying "What a fantastic deal @ only $495!!" If I'd had that kind of money to blow, I definitely would have snatched up one without batting an eyelash.
