    Easiest way to sell my snakes?
    **Disclaimer** I'm not using this topic as a means to sell my snakes, I just want ideas on how and where to sell my snakes.

    So right now I have two male ball pythons(950 gram normal and 500 gram lemonblast) and I will be starting a new job in June. I don't want to sell them, but I will be traveling up to 75% of the time with my new job and I don't want to neglect my snakes. I also don't have anyone that I would trust to have access to my apartment to check on them. I've had my snakes on craigslist for about two weeks now with no bites. What are some other routes I could go to? Since I have a few months before I start traveling I assume that I could get a fair deal for them and their enclosures.

    You could advertise them here in the "For Sale" section or try Fauna Classifieds.

    ^^^ This. And Kingsnake Classifieds. There are also several Facebook Groups that are Reptile Classifieds Groups. Definitely check those out as well! Best of luck.

    Also, were bouts do you live? If there are any close forum members, they may take them. At least you know they'd (more than likely) be going to a good home. I would hate to advertise on CL, that's just me though.

    Use every avenue available to you. Kingsnake, fauna, this site, craigslist, hoobly, your own website, and anything else you can think. Goodluck!

    What prices are you asking for on Craigslist? Sometimes you might have no interest because you are asking too high of a price for a site like that. Sites like Craigslist, people usually want things as cheap as possible so most items have to be sold well below their worth to actually get sold.

    The lemonblast is 300 bucks and that's with a tank and the normal is 150 with the tank.

    Everytime I look on Craigslist and see a Normal for $150 w/tank, I gasp. See if I was interested in the Normal I for sure wouldnt pay $150 for it just to have the snake. You can get normal males for about $25, plus I dont need any tanks. I have asked if they would sale the snake and not the tank and have been told "No". Its because they want the money for the tank and basically throw in the snake.
