Sorry, but I don't really want to play. Why don't we all just brag about how much money we make instead? I get jealous enough when people post pics of corns I would have to win the lottery to afford.

Yeah, I know. I think my other post came out wrong... I didn't mean to sound bitter about it! I'm not ashamed of my collection, I have nice corns and happy with what I have. If others want to show off their higher end corns and say what they paid that's OK.

You're no party pooper.
Silly topic anyhow

The Rule Of Thirds.
Because it implies that pride in one's collection/snake is correlated to how much you paid for said collection/snake.
There's a difference between price and value; the snake I value the most from my collection is an ugly amel that wouldn't get much in price on the market. But that snake, and her temperament, created the passion I have for this hobby.
And you can NOT put a price tag on that.

jazz
I don't mind telling you which was my most expensive, or even posting pictures (though I'm at work and no pictures are here) though I won't tell you what I paid, haha.
I will refer you to my post in the "Pinks and Purples" thread.. http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61810&page=4
My GBR (Pinkerton)is my priciest snake I think. Though I'm not sure if I paid more for him than I did for my Amel het stripe and cinder. (Zamora) http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62514
Both came to me with other snake(s) in the box, so I'm not sure how much they were individually anyway..
And for the record, the prices don't mean much to me either.

You might be taking it the wrong way yourself!
I'm not taking any offense, I don't think others are either. But I wouldn't put that kind of info on here and I can understand why others wouldn't either.
Don't be offended, lol.
Just hear it as a "No, thank you!" with a smile..:crazy02:
And you can't undermine my pride in my collection..

Actually, the hatchling in my avatar is one of the 3 most expensive snakes I own.
His name is Kato.
He and his 2 brothers were the result of an accidental breeding, when one of my racks burnt up and I had to temporarily house 2 snakes together that I THOUGHT were males.
It resulted in the loss of Kato's mother, Kelsey.
She died eggbound.

Other than the previously stated reasons for not posting price paid for "high end" morphs, might be the ugly concept of theft. I have seen this first hand. A good friend had a very highend ball python collection stolen because word got out as to it's value. I love to see unique/rare corns. That is part of why I go to shows like Tinley and Daytona. It gives me something to dream about. Leave out the price for safety sake unless its up for sale!:rofl:

Starsevol; That's so sad! To bad you lost her!
Thank you. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my 3 boys even if their price was way too high. They are all striped like their mother. She was an amel or a fire stripe that I got from a friend who bred in exchange for 2 mexican rosy boas that I bred.
2 of the boys are either striped het bloodred, or bloodred stripes.
One looks identical to his mom and is either an amel stripe het bloodred or a fire stripe.
I need to test breed them to prove them out.
