We always say how funny it is that we think spending $40 for a pair of pants or $80 for a pair of shoes is WAYYYY too much money, but don't blink at spending $500 or even $1000 on a new snake. Why would I want to spend $13.99 on new CD when I can burn a copy of my friends, but hey, that $400 pastel boa sure looks nice in my new $300 Vision cage with a $125 thermostat keeping the temps right. It's funny to think about people's perception of "expensive" is when it come to hobbies and thinkgs you are into. I guess every hobby is like that, but most hobbies don't get the broad spectrum of odd reaction when you tell them what you do "for fun". Great topic!
