We've spent a fortune on boa morphs. I say "we", I mean my OH has spent a fortune of my money on boa morphs...

We also spent a lot on the racking system to house them, I think our Pro Rack is the largest single reptile related payment we've made.

I've spent a lot on a single female royal....

But I've considered snakes at a higher cost than she was.
In this hobby you get what you pay for, if you want a pretty morph, you pay pretty morph money.

it depends whether the question is, what can you actually afford to part with for a reptile? what would you feasbily pay for a reptile if you had the cash? or whats the most "one" could pay for a reptile
to answer those questions 1) bugger all at the moment 2) 3 grand, depends on how flush i was at the time and if for example my breeding projects were bearing fruit 3) i believe mike wilbanks' piebald retic is one of the most expensive snakes out there, not really sure on a figure but i would say tens of thousands (of dollars) if not 100,000 plus

Still many Royals with a good price tag, Banana and Dreamsicle to mention a couple. Around the $50,000 mark. Wouldn't pay it if I had the cash but stunning animals.
