Everyone of us that has them and is breeding them had to buy that at some point and at that point we paid what we had to to get them. It took me almost 3 years and 2 tax returns to pay of my 1.2 breeders. I had no problem doing that or paying what I did to get my animals and if someone wants babies from me they will do the same. And no $2000 a pair is not enough for my animals, I am asking $1800 a single female for 2010 babies and they are selling slowly to people that see them for what they are, kick butt blackheads. If I had any males available I would be asking more like $3200-$3500. If you feel that is too much money then you can get some womas or a ball python of some crazy color. You can also get a non-feeding dark colored, muddy backed baby from one of the guys who picked up the "a black head is a black head" animals.



It has been said time and again, if you a person wants to buy something they are going to buy it one way or another. If I offered you a $800 blackhead you still wouldn't be likely to buy it, it is not the cost but the fact that you think those of us that have them are trying to keep them from you. That is not the case, we are just asking what we think is fair.























I have not even taken pics of my hold backs from this year because I was told I was doing myself a disservice posting my hold backs and animals I was willing to sell next to each other making my other animals pale by comparison. If you look at it as a instant gratification then the price come first, if you look at it as an animal that you will have with you for life...
