If money was no object, which snake would you buy?

Just like the title says, if you fell into a ton of money tomorrow, and could buy ANY snake in the world, what would it be? Response should be accompanied with at least one picture.

For me, right now anyways, it would be one of Harry Wessel's Anery Reticulated Pythons (listed as phantasms)


however both Harry and Jay(prehistoric pets) have so many amazing animals I don't know if I could ever really decide.

If money were not an issue, I would buy:

0.1 - Palmetto Corn (I would get the male too, but he only sells females ATM)
1.1 - High white Piebald BP's
0.1 - High white Panda Piebald

Goldenchild black (Golden child X calico)
Ghost stripe

If I had more money, I'd get a pied and breed it to a sunfire platinum citron albino... assuming I could stack the odds.

If money was no object, I would build a cement wall that follows my property lines 8 feet tall and be more than happy with the snakes I already have

I consider all the free roaming snakes back there as part of my collection, the wall keeps them in, and keeps people who could harm them out.

As I breeder I love what currently exist, but I'm driven to try and make new things, you breed something to something and guess/hope you know what it will look like but surprises are nice!

I think Palmetto is pretty cool but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we find out in the near future that he's just a variation of a leucy rat snake. I believe Don may have hinted towards the possibility vaguely somewhere as well but don't quote me on that. Awesome animal...hefty price tag!

If money weren't an issue, I'd probably expand a little more on my collection, definitely a few more carpets, but most importantly I'd just work at building up an awesome room with super displays for each animal. Sort of like a true mini zoo. Some of the high end snakes, like BPs, are cool but I think it's kind of dumb to pay as much as you would for a new car for a snake, even if you do have the money to throw around. Hope I didn't offend anyone with that, definitely wasn't the intention.

If money was no issue I would have a pair of every snake non venomous. In all of my favorite morphs. I would also become a rescue center.....
