Simon has some very high end stuff on his site. http://www.extremesnakes.com .

High end for corns right now is in the $300 range - Opals, Lavenders, soon certain lavender morphs that you don't see right now as well such as lavender bloodreds, etc.

As Ken indicated - anything with bloodred or lavender is high end as well as the new versions of hypo (the lava and ice ghosts), also any pattern morphs in the rarer colors - eg. stripe and motley in butter, amber, caramel, lavender. The more homozygous gene combinations, the higher the cost. Lots to choose from in corns depending on what you prefer for colors. Good luck expanding your collection,

We don't have any of the very high end stuff - there are only a few people in Canada who have those. One thing to keep in mind with corn morphs is that some of those that are most expensive are not always what will appeal to most people or will sell the best. There is a limited market for some high end colors because they don't look all that exciting - they are of more interest for the genetic combinations they will be able to produce. From my perspective, even though lavenders cost a lot and I appreciate their genetic value, I would pay more for a nice creamsicle than a lavender because that is my preference. With the smaller population of potential snake owners in Canada, it can also be harder to sell the high end morphs for what their value is.

We have snow, ghost and amel (2003) females and a snow male (2001) for sale now. Will have them at the ERAS show as well.
