Yeah, I'd LOVE to walk into that place with like $50k in cash! I wouldn't know where to start.
One vendor had a het. albino retic (pretty good sized so I'm assuming either '05 or '06) for only $85. I walked by that snake 4 times before I finally convinced myself that I'm just not ready yet. Saw some baby albino burms for $125 that were calling to me also, but I ran away before my wallet worked its way out!
The one thing that did concern me with the large pythons is that I saw dozens and dozens of baby burmese for only $35-$45/each. At that price, and as cute as they are I can see alot of them being purchased on impulse and I'm sure a vast majority will end up being given up not long after. I doubt all the people buying them are being informed of the potential size of them as adults. Especially the females. I should have played dumb with a few of the vendors and asked how big they get just to see if I got an honest response or not.
