Is there any point to that question? They are illegal to keep so why would you bother even asking what they are worth?

well im interested to, mainly because if they were to ever legalise exotics what kind of prices would people be looking at paying for them? i think it is an interesting question but i dont realy think there will be an answer because there is no way of knowing.

alot of people said they had been offered exotics, i thought that ment some people may know what they are worth, and yeah im sure im not the only one interested in what they go for at the moment.

well as for what they get for them now as ilegal herps,they would probably get crap all cause if i had them i would want to get rid of them ASAP. but i wonder if they were legalised how much they would be worth and the reason i ask is cause there could be some rare exotics in Oz right now and the people that are braking the law and owning them could possibly be sitting on a gold mine, and that ****** me off.

Fair enough question, nothing wrong with a bit of curiosity. Boas probably go for about $400, maybe a bit more and they throw a cornsnake in for free.

Actually it's more like $300 and no conviction recorded. No not personal experience :-)

I don't think it really matters what they go for. Only worry about that if they become legal here JMO  |
