I say if you want it and have the funds get it. $800 is a lot, especially if you’re not going to breed. That being said.... I recently spent $600 on a red pastel line BCIAlthough I got a holiday discount for 30% off at PPI. I also spent $500 on a leachie gecko too. Just keep in mind you have the enclosure as well and if you’re making it for display it adds up. I think I spent close to $1000 on everything for my boa, maybe more.
I’ve since added a large water bowl in the center of the enclosure. I’d take updated pics but my fluorescent fixture stopped working the other dayReplacement was only $30. I guess my point is that yes these animals can cost a ton up front but once you have everything the cost is minimal. If you order rats in bulk your spending tops like $12 a month for each snake. Make sure to maul it over and look around. Also contact the seller and ask about shipping if you live in northern states. Some breeders won’t ship below 40 F. Luckily PPI was able to ship my boa warm and happy to northern Minnesota in the middle of January.
Good luck! Just remember to think it over and budget everything out. If you can afford it and still want it pull the trigger
