    Male Ball python pricing

    I got some female ball pythons in a trade a couple of months back. I just had them sexed and they are all males. And i have no reason to keep males around so i want to sell them all off. Their is nothing special about them i don't know much history just got them in December. They are all eating fine. I am wondering what they are worth. I didn't want to post this in the for sale section cause i want price ideas and feedback. For now and once i have received some advise i will post them for sale. Let me know what everyone thinks.

    Normal males sell for $20 to $30 each.

    It really depends on who you are selling it to. If you find the right buyer, usually someone who wants a nice, healthy pet ball python, males can fetch a price far higher than if you try to sell to someone who has big breeding plans. Petco sells baby normal males for $89.99. A lot of times you can find someone who appreciates a price lower than the price at the big pet stores. Generally the price will increase as the size of the animal increases.

    I guess i will try selling them on Craiglist or maybe try posting ads at some local pet stores if they will let me. I do need to learn how to probe and not just trust others with their word. Thanks for all the feedback.

    You're not allowed to sell snakes on craigslist. A lot of people sell tanks and say there's a free snake with it.

    but you can put adoption fees and hope it does not get flagged I sold my sub adult spider on CL for $800, it just takes a little time and the right local buyer.

    Craigslist can be a good tool. From what I've seen most reptile ads are ignored by flaggers, even if the seller is asking for a large adoption fee. You might be able to post flyers at pet stores that don't sell reptiles, or, you could try to sell them all to one pet store.
