True 200x. I can understand if the animal was going to a good breeder that wanted to further their lines like that. People like me that want a beautiful pet though its out of my price range. I would love to add a 5 gene morph but can not legitimately get one. If I was a millionaire or won the lottery then yeah I could see paying that kind of price. It's almost like its a status symbol if you can pay that much for just a tiny little baby that is completely adorable but what happens when it gets older and isn't as "cute" as it was? Or you get bored with a pet that just sleeps in its hide all the time? People neglect the poor thing. So I can understand putting a higher price tag on one of your "babies" to make sure it goes to a good home and is treated appropriately. Shoot my girl is 4 yrs and after getting her back I have gotten all of her problems sorted out very fast and easy. She is gaining weight again and she was only a $50 normal. I do take her out check her over and "play" with her but I still can't see paying so much for a pet. But then again I also have gotten most of my pets (they are all brats and fat and sassy) as freebies. They either just show up, or are given to me because they aren't small and cute anymore.
