Just been talking to someone who lives close by to me about some snakes they are selling. They want £150 for an albino king snakes cb late 10 and 2 grey rat snakes cb early 10. Thought this was a bit steep considering i know that they got the rat snakes locally at less than £20 each. The price is for the snakes with no set ups. What do you think would be a fare price for them individually and as a lot? Also what sort of price would the king of cost as hatchling?
Thanks |

| I'm no snake expert, in fact only just starting - hoping to have my first corn in a few weeks, £150 is a lot especially without the set up, maybe you should try looking somewhere else. |

Mind is changing on snakes I want now lol so am researching these to find out what would be best - Milk Snakes and Dwarf Boa possibly - Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara or Vera Cruz and poss a Hoggie, African House and Rat snake. Also Trinket Snakes. |

| So what would you say is a more realistic price inparticular for the albino king? A local shop sell cali kings for £48 so i know £50 is way over the top. |
