LOL

Rumor #1 - Bob Clark paid a substantial amount for the first albino
Rumor #2 - there is some collector in China that paid $150K for an albino (early years)
Rumor #3 - RDR paid over $100K for some patternless snake
Rumor #4 - the guy who owns the derma has been offered over $250K by some big breeder to let them breed their female to the Derma
Rumor #5 - the black eye lucy was offered at $200K but didn't sell at that price ($60K?)
Rumor #6 - The coffee ball was the most expensive morph not to prove
Rumor #7 - ...... have fun we'll never really know

Thats all I can think of off the top.

Hey everyone,

Many years ago Peter Kahl purchased a female "Black Eyed" Leucistic from Africa and the rumored purchased price was somewhere around $140,000.00 to $150,000.00.

Several years ago she produced for the first time and I beleive most of the babies turned out to be Yellow Bellies. I think that qualifies that female as the most expensive Ivory ever purchased if not the most expensive snake.

As far as I know that has been the most expensive snake purchased... the next group would probably be about $100,000.00 and there may be a couple in there.

Maybe just rumors...

LATER!

I heard the price for Pete's Leucistic was $250,000.
I haven't seen pictures of adult Ivories to compair it with, but I believe another breeder was selling hets from Pete's line a while ago. (Not listed as Yellow Belly.)

I don't know what it was, but I heard Ralph did sell a BP for $175,000 once.

A lot of the high prices aren't disclosed because of one reason or another.
