I recently purchased a purple from Jay and not only was the snake insane looking, it didn't seem to matter if I was spending $100.00 or a $1000.00 on a snake he is very helpful and seemed like a down to earth guy. I don't have any experince with Bob Clark but some of the other breeders and "online retailers" can be uninterested to down right rude. I also purchase from NERD before and those guys are really cool as well. It just depends on what your looking for. It seems like Jay has the best purples. Thats just my opinion though. I hoped that helped.You definetly get what you pay for.
