I will tell my husband what I paid (kind of). Unless it was really expensive. I only have 2 right now though. A yellow belly male and a normal female. If I get a really nice pied I won't tell him exactly how much she cost because he would flip out. He's not a snake person. He wouldn't think twice about paying $1000 for a really nice Lab or Doberman but not a snake. Me it all depends on what morph the snake is and if I really like it, and if I can afford it.
