I cant say I would set a limit to how much i *would* spend.. there was a time when i said there was no way i would spend more than $100 on any snake, after all its *just* a snake ((bite my tounge)) to think how much ive invested already and im waiting for my spider female to come home, i would have to say i wouldnt spend more than a grand. i can buy a horse with just a little more money than that and that just seems wrong in my eyes. so i would have to say, for now no more than a grand.. although im in no position to spend that right now on a snake, but someday
