How much does it cost you to house a snake?

[CALM Pythons]

I'm surprised nobody noticed this is a old thread, over a year and a half. Usually everyone jumps all over that lol. But it's a good one so who cares.
I can't believe how much some of you guys spend per snake, it's crazy to me because I'm very selective on my spending but yet I've dropped over $1000 on one snake more than a few times, so I guess it's all about where you want to spend your money. Me personally, I'd rather get the best husbandry possible for the lowest dollar possible and then spend the big bucks on the actual snakes. If your setting up a display then that's the exception, I'd spend a lot there as well. But since mine are not on display and my main goal is to keep as many as I can with the best husbandry possible for the lowest dollar, I think I've done pretty well. I'm at only $16 per snake approximately. I'd have to add up all my supplies to be exact but it's close. My most expensive item and the most important imo, my herpstat. Then I built my own racks on a budget. Everything works great, snakes are healthy and breeding and due to saving so much on my setup, I was able to spend a lot more on my snakes. I'm thinking about dropping a few thousand on a ars hatchling rack in the spring so that will set my average cost per snake back a bit but I guess that will depend on how many hatchlings I produce lol.

LOL!!! Looks like it took off on #13 and here it is on #27. I read about 10 posts starting from 1/19/18 so I never noticed that it was started in 2016.
