Most I have spent is $2,000 CDN. Most I have seen is $65,000 US, it was a male Bumble Bee BP. I'm sure the Killer Bee and Albino Spider will have a higher price tag. It was rumored that Pete Kahl spent more than $125,000 US for his Leusistic BP.

[Stalabros]

I spent $172 Cdn on my CalKing. Worth every penny.

[JD@reptiles]

125,000! lol thats crazy. thats enough to buy a house or 6250 corn snakes. the most costly snake i have seen is a 2 headed texas rat snake that costed $7000 CDN which is a little much because they rarley live.

Jordan

[JD@reptiles]

172 for a cali king? wow. do you have a pic?

[Alicewave]

$70 US for my Rosy Boa. The only reptile I ever actually paid for.

[JD@reptiles]

how many animals do you have?

Jordan

[LdyDrgn]

The most I have ever paid was $75 USD for my bc occidentalis. Actually he is the ONLY one that I paid for. Out of 12 snakes, that is not too bad. The others were gifts, adoptions or rescues :p

The most expensive I have seen would be the leucistic v niloticus for a cool million USD. :jawdrop:

[JD@reptiles]

lol you would have to be CRAZY to pay that for a lizard. lol you would be better off buying twenty thousand of them and breed them all. your bound to come across a oddity sooner or later. lol I would just stick with my million and retire.

i payed 250 for my burm. in usd

[Xetox]

Most I have spend is around 500$, most I have seen is 1mil for a true white nile monitor and it was one of a kind, .....he also had 2 of the 3 only true abino nile monitors and he was wanting 500k for those!

[Zoe]

300$ on my adult female IJCP :] She's worth 10 times more than that to me! Sentimentaly, and soon economically, for 11 healthy are cookin as we speak :]

Zoe

[Burmies]

I would have to say $300.00.

[LdyDrgn]

JD, as Xetox said, this nile monitor is the ONLY Leucy to exist. That is why it is priced so outrageously.

[eyespy]

$40 US for my Mexican black kingsnake and worth 100 times that to me!

Since I run a rescue I don't have the budget to spend on my own pets but there are lots of inexpensive herps to love out there.

[Zoe]

I saw 1million$ for a leucistic nile monitor, but I guess the price went down :]

Zoe

[LdyDrgn]

Nope Zoe, the price has not dropped. It is still at one million.

[Zoe]

lol

Think it'll sell?

Zoe

[Zoe]

Here's a pic of "Denile", as they call him, for those who don't know what a leu nile looks like ;)

[norman]

We spent $300 for our female Suri Redtail....That's the most expensive single animal....we spent $450 canadian for our sub-adult Brazilian Rainbow pair, but that doesn't really count, I guess.....

[Dom]

most expensive was 500$ for a pair of snow bull snake (babies) ..

or 300$ for an adult female Jungle carpet python..

[LdyDrgn]

Since there seems to be contention with linking anything to that "other" forum, why not use this link:

Leucy monitor (http://www.reptilehavenonline.com/exotic.htm)

:D

[snakemann87]

I'm wondering why hes selling it?? If i had it I would breed it for hets.

[Lasher]

10 million dollars and a lifetime of pain (wife)

[peregrinefalcon]

[Zoe]

lol

[rethius]

I'm spending ALOT! for a trio of Peruvians

[fr0glet]

The most money I have spent on ANY of my herps is $10. I have only adopted animals that were in need of a new home or rescue.

I once saw a hypomelanistic brazilian rainbow boa for $500, I couldn't fathom it. Looked totally normal to me.

[Bryce Masuk]

I payed 275 for my female jcp but i plan on buying some High dollar snakes in the future

[Lisa]

most i've ever paid is 300 for the boa i bought for katey.

[JD@reptiles]

Wow you people have seen crazy prices. i am sorry. there is no animal that i would pay 1,000,000. except a T-rex or tazmanian tiger which are long gone.

[katev17]

I wouldn't be too sure of that JD! They're actually attempting to bring back the Tazmanian tiger , and have had promising signs already. It's being done in New Zeleand, I believe!! So start saving up those pesos, they should be available in no time ;)

Kate

[Clownfishie]

$700 cdn on my green tree python -- closely followed by $650 for my super hypo baldy carrot tail leo girl :)

[Steeve B]

1500cdn for albino cobra, almost paid 10,000us for CB pair of boleni, unfortunatly I mised the last indo quota.

[Corey Woods]

Most I've spend on 1 animal is approximately $30,000 CDN.

[dm101081]

$750 for a male 100% het albino ball

[Nicky]

well $50 for my cute little corn which was worth it but my uncle paid $8900 american for his reticulated python!! which never even like calmed down just always stricking at ppl so i kinda think he got ripped off on that one plus it was all most another $400 for him to house the snake and feed it and that kinda thing

[Gregg M]

800 bucks on an F2 gaboon rhino cross....... I figuer I will make atleast 30 times that back when they breed for me....

[JasonBrennan]

Most for a single animal was $700 for albino granite burm. (well, at least reptile wise, that is the most for one animal)

[reptilesalonica]

Well, the most i have paid as for herps speaking is the loss of my 2 baby balls,1 baby bci,1 leucistic rat. These losses cannot payback:(... Also with 30 herps "on my back" and their food (rodents-insects), i "pay" every day. But this is a sweet payment! I think the only one that is sweet when you talk about payment lol

[reptilesalonica]

reply to Jason's signature. There's another 3d way. You shoot the DJ to stop playing music lol ;)

[RachelS.]

lol only like $300 American

[Corey Woods]

Jason,

Corey

[JasonBrennan]

Corey,
I bought my albino granite from Mark Kennedy.
