What should I get?!

[swiftskater1]

Alright guys. There is a reptile expo November 5th in San Antonio :D! I'm bringing around $1,200 what should I buy? I want some nice female ball morphs!

[millertime89]

retics, the answer is always retics
or any number of morelia, morelia are always cool

[alessia55]

:eek: I wish I had that sort of money going into a reptile expo!! :yes: Do you want to spend it all on one awesome bp morph? Or spread it out and get more than one animal?

[infernalis]

I wish I had that in my pocket right now.... I would be at home depot getting a truckload of supplies for Chomp's room.

[DeesBalls]

well, i say an albino... i freaking love albino BP's ... cant wait to get mine!!!

if you want to drop everything on one BP... imo not too sure of the prices, but pieds are always nice..

If you want to make a significant investment, invest in a pair of het snow reticulated pythons.
You can get them for about 600$ each, and if you are lucky, you will get snows by breeding them (snows sell for 20k each right now) (Het snow means, het albino and het anery)

[Gungirl]

If you are investing that kind of money buy what you love. I don't think anyone is going to have the same idea for you. Go see what you can get and what you like. How many animals do you want to come home with? What other things do you need to keep all your snakes/critters happy? Think common sense not just tossing your money around.

Could not have said it better..

In the end, they are your pets, no one elses.

Not too many people are "impressed" by garter snakes,
but I get new ones all the time, because that's what I like.

[swiftskater1]

Haha, No need to get all rational. Im just trying to get some ideas.

[exwizard]

Dums make great pets and not a whole lot of people have them. They are just as docile as red tails and they have a great pattern on them.

[stephanbakir]

Het snow reticulated pythons are Super dwarves btw, maxing at 7-8 feet. Forgot to mention that.

[alessia55]

albinos sell around $450 for males and up to $650 for females... (although I got lucky and got mine for way less than that).

pieds usually sell anywhere between $800-$2,000 depending on the % white.

[KORBIN5895]

Someone is selling a pied for about 600up here.

[Snakefood]

At the shows here, I can get visual pieds for $800+ (males) and $1100+ (females), they are all high whites.

[redsided]

Wow, the garter snakes i could buy with that money...:D

I would get me an Erythristic albino & an Albino Flame.

[UwabamiReptiles]

I say get a female clown, clown combos are freaking awesome. If you want to get a few females then get some of the co-dominant morphs you like. You could possibly get a 2 gene female and get one or two base morphs. Thats if you want bps. If you go for something else I would have to recommend any morelia, always a good choice:)
Cant wait to see what you end up getting, hope to see lots of pics.

This is great! My wife thinks I am weird cause I want garter snakes! I am NOT alone.!

Have her look at this...

That's just some of mine.

I think they're better then any boas or pythons. I have 5, all different, and all purdy. garters are more active, more personable, and more smart! What's not to like about them! You can house them together, i have 4 babies all snuggled up together most of the time. Garters rock.

Mine. (mwhahaha)

Rooster, (bold, fearless, and big -- like Rooster Cogburn!!) would make anyone want one. You wouldn't believe his sweetness, and smart-ness. Baby red spotted garter snake.

he's the sweetest, and most active snake you'll ever meet.

And smart: He sits here and waits for food every feeding, doesn't try and escape or anything. He's sat here in that spot for 30 minutes once.

Oh don't mind me, i just thought i'd take over this thread bragging about my little garter snake.:D

Sorry.:rolleyes:

But seriously, "what should i get?" A freaking garter snake.

[Gungirl]

I have to say I love the ones in the 3rd pic and the 5th pics.

[redsided]

Yes, they are rather awesome.:D

I don't know how garters aren't more popular. People tend to think they're just little snakes that poop on you.

Ha. I like boas and stuff, but i just don't think compare at all to a little garter snake.

[stephanbakir]

Nom nom nom

[redsided]

Yes and he looks rather pleased with himself the little booger.
