They are selling pairs on classifieds. I don't know the current price, but I emailed a while back and I think they are around 5000 a piece. I don't know if it reaslly is worth it.
BTW, are u Pythons and boas from the BC forums?

Hi there,

I am hoping to produce some later this year. Prices will be in excess of £7'500 a pair. Depending on quantity I have and quality. In dollars, that is around the $12'000 mark.

This is an investment species that you will only be able to obtain through 3 or 4 people. There will not be enough to go round, and I believe prices will remain high for quite a while, especially once we start producing albinos with high percantage of dwarf bloodline in them.

"Good God, who would drop 10Gs on a snake?"

LOL!
You should check out the various ball python breeders! $5000 per snake is a bargain!

(And checking out balls might be a good place to find a great python that doesn't get too big, too. Your average ball costs far less than $200.)

Actually, $5,000 each is not bad right now, but unlike Balls, the price will drop like a ton of bricks very soon. While the adults will not drop a clutch like a 16' Burm, they will still produce a lot of babies compared to a Ball Python. Give them about 3 or 4 years and everyone will be producing them. The same is true with the Ball morphs, but they are still producing small clutches, therefore the prices stay higher much longer. Remember when Albino Burms went through the same phase? Now look at them, they can be bought for around $75 if you look hard enough. Anyway, just my opinion and I feel that it will prove to be true. Just be patient if you really want one. In the mean time, get a Granite and prepare to breed him/her with your dwarf in a few years! Sounds logical to me.

IMO i think once the public/breeders/ect find out that they are in fact a real thing.The demand will be very high and the same will go with the prices.

Lets face it.If in fact they are the real deal..How awesome is this going to be..The possibilities will be endless.

I was the first to breed them and have sold out most of my collection. There is only 1 person to get captive produced babies from this year and thats Millennium Morphs. I sold out my babies to them. As said there are only a few people with them and the other 3 guys are actually 1 group of people that shared in the same animals and they are in Europe. The original group that was found in the wild was split between myself and a guy in Europe, this was an idea split due to the fact that there wont need to be any exporting to europe as there are some there.

If anyone is looking into them and in europe, please check out the european breeders, here in the U.S. and Can, its Millennium Morphs and I hope to produce a few babies next season. YOu can still see info on my site.

Thanks
