What snake costs 30,000$?

Question

i heard some go up to 30,000$...

Answer 1

I remember an old article in Reptiles magazine on a then-new color morph of boa - the Labyrinth color/pattern morph.  The few babies the breeder was willing to sell went for at least 30 grand - I think it was more though.

Answer 2

Usually rare 'morphs', like rare genetic patterns or characteristics which have been brought about by generations of inbreeding to get snakes which exhibit the desired traits which are worth a lot of money. Not like anything you'd find in the wild. Albino pythons go for about that I think.

Answer 3

One thats lined with gold .. LOL , no just kidding .

Peibald and other odd colored Pythons/boas

and like weird people who capture pore cobras or other snake that "ARE NOT KINDS THAT NEED TO BE KEPT CAPTIVE"  aka animal polchers...

But anyway , yea theres snakes that can get pretty expensive !! Maybe google it !!Good Luck . and intresting question !!

Answer 4

Hello; yes, some snakes, particularly high end Ball python and Reticulated python morphs can pretty easily go that high. I remember when Leucistic Ball pythons were new to the market; it was impossible to find one for under $50,000-100,000. Super Phantoms and Phantoms in the Ball python market are some of the ones that are currently fetching a pretty penny to acquire. While the value of whichever morph in question decreases quite a bit as more and more people breed them and the become common; there are always 'new' morphs on the market that can easily set someone back 30,000 dollars or more to purchase.

I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions at all on the subject; please feel free to message me and I will be more than happy to assist you. :)

Good luck!

Answer 5

Human-bred color morphs.  Mostly found in red-tail boas and ball pythons.  They involve dozens of careful breedings to bring out genetic colorations that are never seen in the wild.

I can't find ads for any super expensive ones right now, but I've seen them.

Answer 6
