Haha!! Well, I don't think you'd have to pawn one of your kids, but you may have to pick up several extra shifts depending on how much you get paid, lol...! Check out Leapin' Leachies. The prices for their babies are pretty reasonable and accurate.

Leachies are pretty difficult to breed. They don't just get together and mate. They find soulmates. And if they don't get along, bad things happen unless you seperate them immediately. And females can sometimes reject their mate even after several years of being with him. The female will lay only 2 eggs about once a year. And because many of the subspecies are threatened or downright endangered in the wild, wild-caught specimens are very few and far between.

So all that affects price. I got my guy as an older juvenile/sub-adult which also adds to the price. Pure Nuu Ami or Nuu Ana specimens are harder to come by and can be more. It was a lot to pay for an animal that's going to be just a pet. I don't think I'd've sweated it if I were buying a boa that would be part of my eventual breeding program - then it would've been more of an investment. But sometimes you can't really put a price on an animal....
