Is any one in Melbourne selling Juvinile Carpet Pythons? I have a friend who's thinking of getting one..and the pet stores are saying around $200.
I don't know snake prices so is this reasonable?
Cheers |

You sometimes see hatchlings for $180, but I haven't seen them much cheaper than that...

| | | | $200 seems fairly cheap (more than a reasonable price) considering most pet stores prices when it comes to herps...
Most pet stores are charging 2 and even 3 times as much as what breeders are asking...

Was your Juvie sexed too? |

There is also a yearling costal for $300.
If you are game enough to buy an animal unseen try http://www.snakesnt.com/
AussiePythons.com (as well as other aussie herp sites) has a trading page and it is getting close to breeding time. keep an eye on it.
Don't forget you will need permits cages and other stuff. If you buy a small snake you could getaway with a small plastic aquarium, a heat pad and (VERY IMPORTANT) a thermostat. Get all your housing and permits done before you get you snake. |

| Thats quite a markup compared to dealing direct with a breeder.
RepRascals,we are going down to Melbourne in a week or so and were going to have a look at all the shops and perhaps make a purchase if we could find some nice snakes but not if they are that expensive.
Could you let me know which shops are the expensive ones and which are good value as it will save us a lot of time travelling between all the shops.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-03 Location: tuncurry Age: 28 | | | qld is usually the place to purchase coastals from private breeders, have seem them as low as $100 sometimes, $150 being about average for hatchies up their. The banana benders seem to have the right idea (that being keeping lots of the best snake around ) 
cheers
