First show coming up and have ???

I'll be going to my first show in January and I have 3 little girls that want snakes, besides what I want. We are looking for babies and I need to be able to estimate what I might have to pay, I know exacts aren't possible, but....

Are the prices going to be about what I see on kingsnake classifieds? higher, lower?

According to what you are getting naturally, but if you are looking for normals you can usually find unsexed for $15-20.

well, they are wanting corns or milksnakes and one wants a Kenyan sand boa. My ball is a little big for 2 of them to feel comfortable around, although the 3rd wants a red-tail boa (no way!!). I'm thinking of (hoping to) giving them a budget of $40-50 each, does that sound reasonable?

Should be good although I really don't know much about the prices of non ball pythons!:)

Oh yeah you should be able to find snakes that they will be more than happy with for less than $50 each. If you do get talked into a BCC or BCI they might be more than $50.

Corns, milks, and kings are pretty darn affordable, even for some non-wild looking ones. I've seen affordable kenyan sand boas but they aren't QUITE as numerous as corns. You might be able to find corns for as low as $15.

thank you so much!!
