No, the OP did not say he was looking for balls, and the post is under general herp.

What kind of snakes are you looking for, where have you been looking, and what prices do you consider "outrageous"?

I can understand sticker shock when you go onto someone's site and the first thing you see is their prize animal they've spent 6 years to produce, and it has an asking price of a couple Gs.

However, I doubt that was the exact snake you were looking for in the first place. You can find all types of snakes for sale online, for all price points.

I get a lot off fauna

I buy pretty much anything I'm looking for from kingsnake or fauna's classifieds. I also check the sites of people I've purchased from and been happy with before to see if they have what I need.

Definitely always use the BOI to check someone out first. And if there's no feedback on that particular person, don't be afraid to ask.

I've purchased two snakes from members on here, two from local breeders, and the rest have come from Justin Kobylka (jkobylkareptiles.com). I couldn't recommend him highly enough as one of the larger scale breeders. without question the best combination of quality and customer service that I've come across among the commercial breeders.

No matter where or whom you decide to buy from research the seller and one of the best place to do so is on the BOI http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...splay.php?f=13

Now as far as recommended breeders that are active participant on this very forum, here are a few I have personnaly done business with or hope to in the near future

Best thing to do is to contact them directly regardless of what their website is showing as available.

Thank you all for all your responses! Tons of information :)!

By "outrageous" I meant...$20,000 and up lol. No we weren't exactly shooting for some of those but it was still a bit mind-blowing. We realize that a few hundred or even a few grand is typical especially with certain morphs. But since we're just starting out owning snakes we didn't want to drop a crap ton of money on something we weren't 100% sure how to take care of yet.

Anywho, thanks again for all of these links, it'll be a lot easier now to look through them all and compare! :D

Might be just me, but I am rather fond of BHB Reptiles. Shameless plug.

My available is empty, because most of my animals are selling as soon as I post pictures of them, and I have a few more that I want to have feeding before I post them. That may be why others also don't have links up. Like someone else said, e-mail the folks you are interested in, and see if they might have something they haven't posted yet that you're looking for. :)

Speaking of which, many of the animals I've acquired in recent years have also been from immediately contacting someone when they post pictures of babies they've just hatched out if I see something I may be interested in and inquire if they plan to hold the animal back, or will be selling it, ask the sex and the price.
