    I would say that is in the ball park for a hypo corn is it het anything? That isn't wholesale price and shouldn't be a sick snake.

    Like Mark said, they tend to be relatively inexpensive.

    Usually they sell for a bit more than that, but I doubt it's sick as it's still at an ok price for a hypo..
    Hm, they're very common. But usually they run higher if their het something.

    hypo means reduction in black basically. Het means they carry a gene but don't show it meaning if it was het albino it would look normal but carry the albino gene so if you bred it to another snake that had the albino gene they could produce albinos.
