Dollar value

Hey all, what is your opinion on which Snake is the best bang for your buck.
explain your answer,

factors include

Price
handling ability
size
colour


Id say Hypo bredli as it covers all the above

whats your say

 

[BlackMamba]

I would agree with Hypo Bredli (but i'm a little bias)

 

[Bax155]

bredli, bhp or woma!!
all reasonably priced although bhp and woma in some cases can be a tad high
all handle great
bhp and bredli great length, woma are can get big but are nice and heavy set
as for colour i reckon these 3 species have some of the nicest hues of browns/reds!!

bhp and bredli great length, woma are can get big but are nice and heavy set

Y'no womas are smaller then both bhps and bredli?

I'd say womas though, some of the best ones around are priced very fairly, I bought a 'drab' looking hatchie for 500bucks last year tunred into a stunner. Good handlers, best sized python if you ask me, not too small not too big, great feeders, easy to breed, nice looking.

diamonds

I got a nearly 6ft coastal that is a pussy cat and reasonably pretty. But my Woma juvie is hot as and has not struck at me once....

a couple of years ago i bought a yearling inland taipan for $250.... not much better bang for your buck than that

Yes I do and if you looked at my post properly you would see that I stated bredli and bhp are on the large side, "some" woma can be large like SA woma's but the majority are small but more then make up for the lack of size by being a robust snake!!

Bredli. Hypo, bredli

 

[Renagade]

port macs. pretty and cheap... and easier than a diamond.

An Inland Taipan.

One bang could wipe out a small army!

 

[NotoriouS]

Bredli! Easy to handle, look good, not too small and not too big either! And the price just keeps getting cheaper. Bought my hatchy for $300 last year, seem heaps around $200 this year!

+1. They are relatively cheap considering the awesome colours and patterns they can have, plus they are a bit more hardy than a diamond but still keep the placidness of one.

It's not about money. The dollar value shouldn't even be considered when making the decision until the end. You should weigh up all the things about the snake including your likes and dislikes and if it's suitable for you first. Once you decide on which is your favourite then decide if you can afford it. If so buy one. If not look at your next favourite. There's too many people in this hobby focused on the money. It's about the animals not the money.

I think without a doubt the Olive is the best value.

 

[chondrogreen]

Would have to be Womas these days.
Awsome species at a very reasonable price. JMO

Don't think they ment that sort of bang?

$150 bucks will get you a Water Python, they have plenty of Bang
