300 is my budget for the snake alone, thats not including the initial price of getting everything i need like cage, set-up ect. Idk like i said i really wasnt expecting to see them in the 1000s. truthfully im perfectly happy with getting a normal one i was just seeing what i can get with the budget i have laid out for me. Ty everyone for all the replys im going with the spider and hopfully by december ill have her, XD i cant wait, wish i was getting her today.
