craigslist: good and bad sides... here is the good

i was browsing craigslist for a old beer refrigerator when i decided to look in general merch. i looked around and found nothing for my new project of building a incubator. just for fun to see what reptiles people were selling online i typed in "reptiles" as a key word and there was somthing i needed... a snake rack. not just a snake rack TWO snake racks and not to mention they were boaphile racks, two of the six drawer blanket or 12 drawer sweater box sideways racks. so i called him and he stated that he had been trying to sell them for weeks with no reall calls or offers. i asked how much and bought both of the racks for 400$ delivered with a stat! not a bad deal at all (saved myself 400+$) !! here is a pic of my new rack just in time for some hatchlings that i should have in mid aug. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k8...es/rack004.jpg

good find....as far as craigslist for snakes, I have had decent luck 4 of my 6 where off of CL and all happy and healthy

very nice!!! im assuming he didnt sell the racks cause he posted in the general merch section and not the pets like i would exspect this to be. now i have to find some extra tubs

Way to go! :gj: Our new baby came from a Craigslist ad. :)

Excellent find!

thanks!!

Congrats on the super find! :)

CL isn't all that bad, you just have to know what to look for and be prepared to do some serious screening when it comes to animals. I got both my Leo gecko (an albino patternless) AND my IJ Blue tongue Skink from CL ads. :D

cages.. I LOVE CL for cages!

Exo-terra cages are great for my rhacs, but so expensive to buy new. I got them for SO cheap off CL :D

yea the downfall is i sold a 150 gallon tank w a stand on there for 100$.... so i guess u give and take

Lucky find I'm looking to score like you soon i hope!!!

I just got a proven breeder female who is nine years old and lays every year- and her mate- a normal male I am giving to a friend's son. Plus a 55 gallon gorgeous tank and the beautiful stand- entire thing for $75 including both snakes and all supplies! I call that a major deal. Female is stunning with an amazing clean pattern, too! Naturally, I separated the two and will be putting a divider in the tank for any snakes, and we're eventually going to convert it to a salt water fish tank. But still- what a score.

Congrats on your score, too!

Oh dear, there's a local Craigslist ad here giving away a BP. I don't know which is worse: That the husband gave a BP to the wife who is scared of snakes, or that someone needs to get this snake now because the bedding needs changing and they're afraid to change it. :confused:

Just a reminder folks;

Who's criticizing? This is just a thread commenting on her great find....nevermind

Hi,

It applies to posts too - the post directly above mine was not entirely positive so I thought a reminder might be a good idea in case others replied to it in a similar vein and the thread had to be split. :)

Oh, oops, sorry.

(So, we can talk about good Craigslist stuff, but not bad? Still, I feel bad for the snake.)

Hi,

You can still talk about the less than ideal ones - it's just the place to do it has changed. :)

If anyone needs access to the quarantine room then simply contact any of the Admins (names in red in the user list ) and they will arrange it for you. :gj:
