The most I have spent on a single Leo is $250. Although I have done that at least 3 or 4 times in the last few years(Mack Snow, Super Snow, SHCTB, etc). The most I have ever spent in a single day on Leos was $365. This is my fifth breeding season and as many new morphs that have popped up in just that time, I wish I had the funds to invest a large sum into a few I haven't worked with yet. I think Enigmas are awesome, but they are out of my range right now. I had to wait until I could afford the Macks with money I made from selling my nicer hatchlings the last couple of seasons. I never bought any sunglows (hybinos) despite how much I liked them because I knew I could produce them (in the following generation) from existing morphs I already had when the Sunglows appeared on the market. I should hatch some by this March, but I had to wait over a year and a half to get to that point. Sometimes, spending up front works and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't regretted any money I have spent on any geckos. Compared to some people, I have not had to invest alot up front, and that makes it easier to justify (to my better half) buying more new "project" leos. :D

I bought a pair of RAPTORs in 2004.. They were $800 each.. So that put me $1600 in the hole. But.. I at least got free shipping and a free Leopard Gecko Manual signed by Ron Tremper. Yeah.. that was a lot of money for me...

i have spent 1000 on a jungle giant male about 3 years ago
i also spent 800 for a pair of eclipse (the male is in the pic by my name). that 3 days after i got them i had the fire at my house. they were 2 out of about 10 that survived the fire. i had close to 40 geckos die ( in the fire and the days after )and there were about 100 eggs in the incubator. so yea that sucked really bad. The most that a gecko that i own was, at the date of when it was bought. is My super Giant Mammoth. i think he was 1500. he is the full brother of moose (ron trempers huge male). he was the first and biggest male sold at that time. he is still my favorite he also survived the fire. he has had a bit of a hard life but he is my buddy. here was a picture of him in his prime.

I guess I'm cheap compared to you guys. The most I've spent is about $45. I recieved a SHTCT male and a SHTCT female for $45 each form Jeff Schaecher at Geckoguru.net. He's got great deals on geckos. :main_thumbsup:
