You can't make a correlation without data. But besides the points, it depends on how much they value something. I have friends that drive $200,000 cars that don't care if they crash it while they cherish a dog yet adopted from the shelter for $150 dollars. Or one of my family friends euthanized his great dame that costed him $1500 because he didn't want to deal with taking care of the dog after surgery. Also I know people that take very good care of whatever they buy (expensive or not). If the person buys a snake to see it as a thing and not a livin animal then they won't give a flying feather if it does or not.
