I've really only starting following BP's and Hog's since March. It pretty much was with a video from Snake Bytes TV...that I just happened to run upon. From there I went to their web-site...I saw the prices on Ball's and just about fell out of my chair!
Now back in the olden days (70's) for me...ha! I remember a couple pet shops in my area...were selling Ball's(norm) for about 39 dollars...RT Boa's just a tad more at 49. A bunch of different colubrid's and so on. From what I remember the Ball's and Rainbow Boa's were the most popular at that time. Affordable! Prices really haven't changed over the years for these guys... But add a bit of color and change the pattern...Wolaaa it's a different world!
I'm not knocking it, I'm just amazed by it.
Is this happening over in Europe also?
Also did King Snakes go though this? I don't really recall all the different patterns I see today on them.
But all and all...I'm with you...I can't see spending a grand for same snake just different color....ha! Still not knocking people that do....I say if you got it, and want it...go for it!
