- [Man] Today, I'm gonna show you guys
my least expensive snake
all the way to my most expensive snake that we keep here.
But this is actually about the sixth most expensive snake.
Being a piebald ball python.
These guys go for about $500.
(cash register opening)
It's difficult,
because we have thousands of snakes here,
to figure out what is my least expensive snake,
and of course what my most expensive snake is,
and all the snakes in between.
And first off,
I never really love putting prices on animals,
because every animal's amazing,
and it's a life, right?
But the fact is is that there is a cost behind these things.
And probably my cheapest snake that we work with,
which I absolutely love,
It's kind of one of my more favorite snakes.
It's a greenish rat snake.
Yeah, it's just kind of a simple rat snake,
but for some reason I like the pattern, the color,
just the attitude and everything like that.
But these guys only are about $40.
(cash register opening)
Number two would probably be the normal ball python.
I love Normal Ball pythons.
They're really amazing.
And it's the way a lot of people get started
in the reptile hobby, buying a normal ball python.
Whether it be from a pet shop or whatever the case is.
I got started in ball pythons way back in the day.
It was my third snake I ever owned in my entire life.
Its name was Axel, but these guys sell for like 75 bucks.
(cash register opening)
You know, snake prices are always changing.
Take for instance, pueblan milk snakes.
For the majority of the time
that I've been keeping reptiles,
they were about maybe 50, $60 at the very most.
Now they've actually moved up into the slot,
that is number three slot at about $125.
(cash register opening)
[Man] But of course, prices really vary
depending on the color and the pattern of each animal.
So a cheap pueblan's maybe a 100-$125.
A really expensive pueblan could be 300-$400.
It's harder than I thought to come up with a list.
Now, boas really range a tremendous amount.
You have normal boas,
you have boas that cost tens of thousands of dollars.
But this particular type of boa's what they call a hypo boa,
which means it's just lacking a little bit
of the black pigment in it.
It makes it look really absolutely beautiful.
And coming in about the fourth, most expensive animal
it's about 200 bucks.
(cash register opening)
You, when albino hognose first came around,
they were selling for 1500 to $2,000.
They were unbelievable.
People couldn't get enough of them.
They're still an incredible animal.
And hognoses in general,
are just an absolutely beautiful snake,
but the albino hognose have kind of moderated in price
over the last 15 years or so.
And a baby albino hognose, of course, this is an adult here,
would go for about 300 bucks.
(cash register opening)
- He just went under your shoe.
- What? Look at that bug dude.
- Crawling on my neck.
I thought it was a spider.
You talking about all these cheap snakes?
I'm a pretty cheap guy.
- I'm the king of cheap, man.
I take my girl out, 7/11 dumpster for free taquitos.
- A dumpster? I mean,
that's not bad. - free taquitos.
- You know, I heard of this five star Italian place
where they make the stuff right in front of you.
It's called Subway.
$5 for a foot long.
- That's expensive bro. Five bucks?
- Now it's like eight, so I don't go there anymore.
- [Man] And that brings us back to number six,
the piebald ball Python.
And like I mentioned, normal piebalds go for, you know
400 to $500 in that range.
But once you start layering,
they can get much more expensive,
I mean they can get really expensive with some mutations.
This is just albino pie,
which is a double recessive mutation.
This would up that price more to like six,
maybe even $700. (cash register opening)
Let's take a break and pull some ball python eggs.
And it happens to be a pastel female ball Python looks
like she's got a bunch of good eggs,
couple little slugs in there.
Right to this lemon blast entrez extreme gene.
Let's see how many eggs mama does have.
Couple slugs in here.
Not a very big clutch by any stretch,
but again should be some pretty babies.
We've got super pastels, entrez extreme genes.
We have 1, 2, 3, 4 eggs.
Scrub pythons are an absolutely amazing animal,
and you don't see 'em that often captive bread.
But when you do see 'em captive bread
depending on the locality,
they're about seven to $800. (cash register opening)
- Whenever my girl wants movie night, we go to Best Buy
and we just go up by the TV section.
Watch the previews for the upcoming movies.
If you're lucky, I throw an oldie on you.
You stay there for two hours.
Hey, no one ever bothers you.
- I'll go to the movies.
You know, imagine you just buy your tickets online.
Just go sit at the front
- How you get in?
- We don't.
We just sit in the car,
watch Netflix on the phone,
but we're at the movies.
- Might have to steal that one.
- We're gonna take a little jump on the next level
and we're gonna go to a patternless rock python.
It's a little bit squirmy, but relatively tame.
Unlike the scrub python that gave me a free little love nip.
And that happens with those guys, there's no doubt about it.
But these guys typically go
for about $1,500 a piece as babies.
(cash register opening)
Next up, I think I'm gonna go
to something kind of really cool.
Look at this ivory looking beautiful white snake grader.
This is actually a leucistic columbian rainbow boa.
Which makes are just absolutely ridiculous.
Now these guys go for about $2,000.
(cash register opening)
Next up, we're gonna go with this beautiful snake.
Which was one of my dream snakes when I was younger.
That of course is a diamond python.
Unbelievably gorgeous animal from Australia.
These guys will clock you in for about 2,500 bucks.
(cash register opening)
- Man, when my girl, she wants hibachi, I bring my own meat.
They can cook my own shrimp. - You go catch it fresh.
- (indistinct) I just goes to local farms
and you just steal a chicken.
Go to the bay, grab some shrimp
- Every time my girl wants to go to a baseball game.
- That's expensive.
- So we go to the tee-ball, see the upcoming talent.
- That's actually revolutionary.
- And make sure to stick around later
in the vlog for the final animal
that is the most expensive snake that I have.
Not the most expensive reptile,
but the most expensive snake. By the way, if you want,
go down in the comments
and you can guess what you think that actually is.
While you're down there to smash
that like button and subscribe to the channel
it really does help.
Regardless, this is a lavender piebald ball Python.
Beautiful animal.
I mean, look at the contrast on that.
And like I said, the layering is what's amazing.
These are double recessive's right here
and they just get better
and better with age.
Now, a baby lavender albino female pie,
maybe about 3000 bucks. (cash register opening)
Like I mentioned earlier
when I showed you the hypo boas,
that where only a couple hundred dollars.
Boas can get very expensive,
literally into the tens of thousands of dollars.
An animal like this here,
which is an eclipse boa,
can go for about three grand. (cash register opening)
Madagascan tree boas are Tanzania, Madagascar-ins.
A very interesting boa, from the islands of Madagascar,
which is absolutely incredible.
These guys are not common, hard to get.
And when you do get 'em, they come in really two phases.
This is what they call the Mandarin phrase,
or the west side of Madagascar.
And then they have a green phase
on the right side of Madagascar.
These guys can cost you up to $4,000.
(Cash register opening)
- You know the one thing I don't cheap out on?
- What's that?
- Ice cream.
- Yeah Luke what's that.
- Well you know,
you got everything from mochi, sherbert, the (indistinct).
What's the one you said?
Valenti, Gillente, toelenti.
Talenti, with a T.
- It sounds expensive.
- Yeah, and I don't skip on no toppings, neither.
You know, you gotta get cherries and the sprinkles.
Oh, with the Reese's Pieces chunks.
- You get the Reese's Pieces chunks?
- All the toppings, cherries.
- All in one?
- $80.
- $80 ice cream?
- 80$ for my one cup.
- So many mutations in the ball python world.
And some ball pythons can cost
tens of thousands of dollars.
We don't work with stuff that's worth 20, $30,000 anymore.
But we do have a few animals that are pretty special.
This of course is the super lori leopard ball python.
When their hats are kind of blue and white.
Then they turn this color as they get older,
but they are in high demand
and they sell $5,000. (cash register opening)
Right outta the egg.
Back over to the reptarium.
And my big girl Gemma,
who is actually what they call a ghost reticulated Python.
So the ghost reticulated pythons are very sought after.
And her being about 18 foot long,
she is definitely worth some money.
She's probably worth somewhere about $5,500.
(cash register opening)
We actually produce the very first sunset
ball Pythons way back in the day.
And they sold for $65,000.
This happens to be a cinny sunset here
and there's still about
$6,500 of babies. (cash register opening)
When I bought Perdida the cow reticulated python,
they were pretty expensive.
About $7,500 for babies.
Now the babies have become a lot cheaper,
but still an animal with this size
and how beautiful she is in her temperament.
Easily would go for
about 7,000. (cash register opening)
Now, let me just tell you first off.
Every animal I've mentioned
basically I wouldn't wanna sell anyway.
And you could offer me a hundred thousand dollars
for Pedita and I would still turn it down.
- Oh I think there's a turd in this.
It's got some weight to it.
- Oh my dude, dude, dude.
- Look at that.
- There is a turd in there.
Whoa, whoa, watch out Brenna.
She's acting wild!
- Dude it comes with its own centi.
- Wait man, give me some support.
Give me some support.
You got it.
- Why are you backing up?
(retching)
- Get away, man.
Michael James Winston.
Hey man!
Get it outta here.
Fuck!
I swore.
- Oh you did!
What's that little bunny hop at the end?
That stinks.
- And back to pulling one more clutch of eggs.
This is actually a ghost female ball python.
What they call a hypo female.
She was actually bred to a hypo champagne known as a mimosa.
And that is a gorgeous clutch egg.
Gorgeous snake and gorgeous eggs.
Look at this right here.
Ooh, doggy.
I absolutely love it.
We've got 2, 4, 6, 8, beautiful eggs.
Only a few snakes to go till we get
to the most expensive snake that I actually own.
Of course, this one is Knight Fury,
the motley golden child reticulated python.
Absolutely glimmering.
Now all Motley golden childs
aren't black like this guy.
That's what makes it so special.
So a jet black motley golden child retic
of this size would be about $7,500.
(cash register opening)
Another black and white reticulated python.
But this one isn't gonna change
like Perdida where they get darker as they get older.
This stays just like this.
And of course this is Neo.
This is a Motley golden child pie reticulated python
with red eyes of all things.
These guys sell for like $8,000.
(cash register opening)
- Michael let me go.
(laughing)
- [Camera Man] First to the truck gets an ice cream.
- Oh you gotta stop it though.
(humming)
(intense music)
Oh, Mike wins.
- Yes!
- Can you even see straight? My eyes are still spinning.
- I heard ice cream, focus.
- Look at this amazing animal right here.
Of course this is a boelin's python from Papua, New Guinea.
Absolutely wonderful.
One of the rare naturally occurring pythons in the world.
And this thing is absolutely gorgeous.
As babies, these can go for up to $10,000.
(cash register opening)
Okay guys, this is a big jump.
For those of you that guess Ben and Jerry,
you were a hundred percent right.
These guys literally would sell
for somewhere in the neighborhood
of $40,000. (cash register opening)
Or potentially whatever you would pay for it.
They're so rare when they do come available,
sometimes the asking price
can be even astronomical beyond that.
Especially when you get
into an adult that you know is gonna live.
Babies can be really temperamental,
and they could definitely be a high risk.
With an adult that should live a full life
it is absolutely incredible.
But they're gonna put you out about $40,000.
Speaking of out-
[Man]Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
