We have all seen some interesting prices on normal females from WC to that gem someone had for 10 years that was over 5000 grams. What's the most expensive normal female that you know of that was actually bought. Personally, I know a guy who paid 1K for a 2.5K normal female. It was worth it for him - the sire was special.

The Sire of the female was special or the sire he paired her up with was special?? If the sire was special she wasn't really a normal was she. I've seen them advertised high but am also curious how much people really pay for them, personally if I had a kick a$$ male to pair up like a lesser or cinny or something high end and no breedable females I wouldn't hesitate to drop a few thousand for a breedable female, make it up that season. Although I like raising hathlings, it is amazing to watch them grow!!

Ball Pythons

when I lived in Miami for 3 years...

I would frequent 'Snakes at Sunset', Amir's store...

At one time he had a ball python that measured 6' plus !!!

This was ten years ago, and I believe the price tag was $1000.

This is when you almost couldn't give away 'normal' balls....

Aside from that, i've seen a few times over the past year that someone has paid around $1000 for a female weighing 2500-3000 grams.

I would love to see the size and weights of some of Bob Clarks older adults!!!

Best wishes, Joe Rollo
