Cartier Builds The Ultimate Snake Watch


It is part of the Ateliers d’Arts collection, and only 8 such watches were built for this collection. It can be yours for around $70,000, about twice as much as some ball python morphs cost during the early days of the ball python morph craze.


John B. Virata keeps a ball python, two corn snakes, a kingsnake, and two leopard geckos. His first snake, a California kingsnake, was purchased at the Pet Place in Westminster, CA for $5. His first pet reptile was a green anole that arrived in a small box via mail order.
