[ItsMichael805]

oh, i wonder how much spiders will go down in the next couple of years, im going ot have my rack build before i get them, so if i get 2 yellowbellies will i have a chance of geting a ivory?

If you buy one of my spiders high white reduced I can tell you that the will go down about ....Ok I lied it won't go down . 350.00 for a great looking spider is cheap. I like allot of people am one of those that had to write that 1000+ check for a male spider. So to say 350.00 is expencive I'd suggest a normal.. Or a pastel..or mybe a YB

Umm.. yes you can find morphs cheaper than 300 bucks.. such as a pastel ball(both genders),cinnamon pastel,yellowbelly AKA het ivory, a spider male, and a mojave.

You find me a nice cinny pastel for under $300 and I'll marry you.

I for one hope they don't go down any more. They're already priced too low, IMHO. So I hope they've already hit rock bottom.

My hope actually lies with selective breeding and grading morphs. There is a market for people who want to buy the finest example of the morph that they can find and are willing to pay extra to get it. I'm one of them.

mayb you'd be better off getting a few normal females to raise and buying the spider when you have a job, if 350 is expensive to you right now. then u need thermostat, heat, caging, even the most basic setup would be over 100 bucks. then u got to feed them everyweek, that adds up over time.

i know they say u need passion for this hobby, but you also need a little bit of money, like anything else in this world.

i know that i dont have money right now, but by the time of the expo, plus right after christmas, ill have a hundred at least and that is my chirstmas present form my family so yeah

I'm fourteen and I only gets 50 bucks a month for allowance!But then since school is going to start soon that mean saving up lunch money and since I get 4 bucks for lunch money( texas lunches are rip-offs) that means 80 bucks a month which means 130 bucks a month all together!Here I come pastel OR spider!

You should probably eat lunch and stop ripping off your parents... my daughter tries that a lot.

Not only do you need to calculate the price of a new animal, you also need to figure in the cost of an enclosure, including a UTH and thermostat. And if you have other ball pythons, you need to plan to quarantine any new animal in a different part of your home for 30 to 60 days.

$350 for a quality high white spider male is inexpensive compared to just a few years ago when spiders were selling for over $1000 each.

You younger keepers are getting to reap the benefits of the prices that have dropped. Just 5 years ago, pastels were over $1000 and they were the most affordable visible morph. So, it's a little ironic to those of us that remember those days to hear people call a $350 spider expensive.

oh man the high white spider male i have my friend bought for 1600 in late 05. since it never bred for him and the prices crashed he ended up just giving it to me and it fathered 2 nice high white babies this year.

My mom says I should do that if you want to get money.I am still too young to get a job and my mom would rather have me pack a sandwich then spend 4 bucks on lunch.
