A Craiglists find

I was looking at craigslist and found an add for "snake stuff" There was a picture of a herpstat along with some zoo meds. I emailed asked how much for the herpstat. I was told 150. I sent back and said that a new one was only 135. I offered $65 (I am broke and didn't think they would accept). I was shocked they accepted. I got an almost new herpstat ND for only $65.

Nice!:gj: I love my herpstat!

That's a great pick-up.

I'm a craigslist bargain hunter...
For the snakes:
- I have gotten 7 10-gallon tanks for my ASF breeders for $20. It was supposed to be 8 but the guy dropped one while loading into the back of my car.
- I got a 20L Zilla reptile tank for $30 with no visible damage - the screen is still tight like it was brand new. My old 20L screen is loose on one side from having the heat lamp clamped to it.
- My old 20L Zilla reptile tank was for $40 but it came with thermometers and a 5.5" ceramic heat lamp that glows in the dark and came with a 75W bulb.
- And then last Tuesday, we got an '08 female albino bp for $400 rehoming fee.

Crazy, huh?

OH man I so want an albino! Most of the time the bp's are in such a poor shape it is a crying shame.

This summer I am thinking about getting a few female normals off craigslist. There are always so many up for rehoming. Might as well give them a better home if I have the space!
Awesome find though!

Just today I bought an adult pastel het for ghost + reptile basics 4 sweaterbox rack with 1 reptile basics hide, all for $280

anatess, where are you located if you don't mind me asking? craigslist in my area had an albino for ~$400.

This one was in Orlando. I'm further north from there.

I got my male (supposedly) 3.5 + foot normal bp, 40 Breeder, X-large Exo terra UTH, X-large Exo Terra hide, Zilla hide, rediculously large (looks like a dog bowl) ceramic water bowl, 1.5 bags of substrate (can't remember brand), tv stand (with all of the shelfs removed) that fits the 40 breeder perfect off of Craigslist for a $50 rehoming fee. :snake:

Love craigslist...

How about a spider for less than $50?

I look on craigs list all the time for glass aquariums and there are tons. Poeple always ask high prices to start out. Wait a week then lowball them. They give in easy.

Make sure you sex them first. Too many times I've met someone with a female, and it was a male. They all knew that if it was a male, I wasn't interested, but they were told it was female. Pop it on the spot and be sure. That's what I do and don't take the snake if it's male. Most are happy to know the correct sex and correct their ads.

I plan on learning to successfully pop ball pythons (or maybe even probe :O) before I make any transactions :3
