I will admit i have been into these snakes for some time and the main reason I'm posting this is to find out what other people think about them i.e. do you find them attractive or are they not your kind of thing?  |

Prices vary . I've seen a few go for about £40-£50. But then again saying that I have seen a pair going for £220 so I think it depends on the seller's idea on their value.
