Its a shame how people put such high price tags on snakes as it makes them inaccessable to the vast majority of people that only wish to keep thems as pets.

to be honest I prefer the normal morphs in the rainbows - be interested to see how its irridesence shows in the flesh
the prices will come down in a few years - about 7-8 years ago an albino royal was about £3k, now u can get them for £400-600
They are really investment animals at that price and if they don't breed or it is shown not to be a dominant trait then you could end up with an expensive pet.

Im hearing you about the investment side of things. I am only hoping to make my money back out of the first clutch of olives then i will drastically drop my prices and will have to give some to mates for pretty much nothing. The adders are great as the breeder who bred the first ones is selling them purely for the hobby and kept pairs as low as $2000. I find that very admirable as he could of charged what ever he wanted, but chose to keep them cheap so as everyone can enjoy them.
In the end though if you really like the animal its worth every cent you spend, i have some very basic looking animals that i would not sell for all the money in the world. A snake is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I am picking up a female Barons Racer there - can't wait - looking for female ksb, paraguayan rainbow and male argentine rainbow (if have the money!)
Berlins really nice though!
