I'm not constantly lookin for a deal when it comes to snakes. In the past month I've spent $1950 on 2 snakes that I have killer plans with and I have no problem with that. I've just always loved wheeling and dealing (I work in sales so its second nature) and your point is 100% valid. What I'm talking about more is all the ads I see that say FIRM or statements like "dont offer me any less" just things like that which steer me away from that breeder.
