What Snake is this? How much would u pay?
Hey all....
A friend of mine is selling his snake. He was told it is an Atherton Carpet/Jungle...??.....
He has offered it to me, and I just want to make sure of what it is before I purchase him....
Is there Atherton Carpets as well as Jungles?? Which one do you think he is??
How much would you pay for him.. He is bit over 4foot.... 2yrs+.... And tempered like a fuzzy kids bear... ??
Opinions Please....???
Thanks

Yes it looks like an Atherton Jungle, they are extremely variable though. They aren't as valued as other smaller Jungles so maybe $300-350.

Silly me... I have been babysitting it for the last 6 months...
Didnt even think to look at the licence details, obviously on my books while in my care...
In there as Atherton Carpet Python...
So $200 would be a fair mates rate for him.....????

depends where you are up here in NT you pay up to $500 for an altherton Coastal hatchy and its more for a sub adult or adult. but up here thats at pet shops you may be able to get away with just paying $200 but you should find out how much he paid first.
