So true!!! It's funny when people ask how much one of my "yellow" babies are and I say $100, they say "holy crap that's a lot for a snake!" Then I say "That's a really cheap ball python...."
I try not to talk about price with family, they are not impressed, lol. People don't understand that a hobby is a hobby. I don't buy expensive computer equipment, collect cars, guns, whatever, I collect snakes!
