Went to the Reptile Expo today...

[snakesonaplane]

$15,000 for that one or the snakes with the ingredients for $800, wow at the difference there.

I figure he probably had 10+ clutches before he got the $15k one. I asked him the same thing, he's selling the parents because this genetic mutation is apparently extremely rare. He's an experienced breeder, so I suppose he had no reason to fabricate that fact. But yeah, amazing difference.
