No snakes are that cheap here but don't think the market for retics here is big enough. No breeders I'm aware of so any retics are expensive.

Though I've seen a lot of fish sold for cheap red tail catfish (3000g aquarium, couple hundred lbs) silver arowana (5ft and couple hundred gallon min tank) sadly these fish usually die. Unfortunately in the pet trade you can buy anything if you have the cash in your pocket. Even in a province where HOTS are illegal you can buy them if you know where to go and have the cash.

I'd never own giants or hots but keep the pics of your giants coming. Cheers.
