BREED: Lavender albino ball python
PRICE: up to $40,000
A scaly, slithery snake doesn't really sound like most people's definition of the ideal pet, but snake owners and breeders are willing to pay hefty prices for these creatures. In fact, one of the world's most unusual breeds of snake, the lavender albino ball python, was produced by breeder Bob Clark and has sold for up to $40,000.
