Well I took a ride by bens place and WOW you have got to see these guys in person! The hypo is real nice (to bad I don't have 4k laying around). I don't like borneo's either but he had some beautiful ones like the side swipes!

BackGround info on which snakes? Regardless I've never seen either of the snakes available. Therefor who ever has them can set whatever price they want. You think that price is a little high, look at the ball market! The ball market is straight up rediculas and half the high selling morphs are fugly! Just some of my thoughts,

Well considering you can get a juvinile CB albino for the same price as he's trying to sell a WC "hypo" (not proven) I would say that its a little high, not to mention the "sideswipe" just seems to be a stripe related charactaristic, but you can find striped animals with dorsal and side "stripes" I guess you would say, for alot less... but like you said everything is basically worth what someone is willing to pay for it... just my 2 cents tho... not trying to start an arguement

I agree....I saw those posts in the classifieds adds. Those snakes are pretty high in price. If in fact they where actually something truely special I think VPI or some other High Blood Fanciers would have already attacked the oppurtunity to get those snakes and start a new project with them. To see them on the Kingsnake classifieds is kinda wierd knowing that they probably would not have been if they had been something really good. If I had gotten my hands on something special I would have contacted VPI or some other High end breeder and made a "Loan" or "Breeding Project" with them instead. just my opinion.

I agree with Jordan.I didn't want to start anything bad here but those are way over priced.Those patternless sides you can get with a striped borneo and as for the hypo, maybe, but still way over priced.Ben does have really good deals and I've bought two snakes from them so not to knock on them but I thought the same thing.I would rather buy an albino.Oh and to compare to the ball pythons, not even in the same class, those are way over priced snake morphs that shouldn't even be up in those prices, what a joke, heck thats a down payment on a house which I own, this is a real investment.
