[zeke]

I have never kept Childreni but $270 is a bit expensive.

dude, use the search function as this topic has been covered many times.
Price can vary, and 280 does seem a bit steep so check out the for sale thread.

I paid $150 for my hatchling in December 2005. The seller was criticized for being too generous with the price here on APS.

They grow to around 1.2m (so the breeder told me).

Hi we sell ours for $250 and have never been questioned about the price (they have always had at least 4 feeds and come in their own small container), so I guess $270 would be Ok from a pet shop but you may be bette off going to a private dealer. My adult childreni vary from 75 cm to 1 metre in length. The average length is around the metre mark tho.
Hope this helps

i got both of my childreni for $120 and the other for $150 IMO its a lil rough on price.... and childrens dont get that big about 2-3ft in length very small but a good first timer snake

I brought my full grown female maccie for 200 off this site

i paid 280 from a breeder for my children, pet shops were asking on average 250-300 for childrens, one shop was 340, macs were a little cheaper but still fetching up around the 300 mark in some shops. I found some shops were under 200 but they looked a bit sick compared to others. I didn't mind paying the bit extra as i knew the breeder and he had a good reputation. After reading this thread i feel a bit ripped off but!!

for my other childreni i paid 195 from a petshop

Dude , chill out , if he does not want to use the search function and would like his questions answer personally that's his business , if you don't like it don't read it .

Anyway $270 is getting a bit to expensive , Normally between $200-$250 is the going price , but may depend on where you get them .
I have brought some lately for $250 that came with their own container , and are very good animals .
Rosemary sells some nice ones talk to her

I bought 2 for $150 each, but I suspect the breeder was looking to offload these snakes as they were approaching the 1 year mark and he still hadnt sold them from when they hatched. With a fresh batch of hatchlings due in the next couple of months he was keen to offload these from the previous mating season
