I have my Carpet Python in a rubbermaid right now knowing that one day I will need to move her into a bigger cage. I'm tired of seeing all these great deals online where all you come across someone looking to get rid of a cage or snake at a great price since that never happens in Utah due to a smaller number of Herpers in general. Well my day may have finally come!
Found an ad in the nickel classifieds here of a "Huge snake cage for sale with snake for $150 obo Must Sell!"
I called and it turns out they live about 50 mins north of me so that stinks but I got em to send me pics of the cage and snake (BP). Here is what they sent...
The cage is 4x2x2 although the first pic makes it look smaller. It appears from the phone conversations and from the pics that they aren't too good with their snake knowledge (which she readily admitted) and that's why they "must sell"
Anyways, I don't really want another snake, but will try to place it in a local adoption or something....get a friend involved....or just have another snake. Either way gotta check the BP's health etc first since it appears he wasn't in the best environment.
So yeah, to sum it all up, I'm pumped and will be making a lower offer tomorrow to see how eager they are to sell and hopefully have it by this weekend. Unless someone closer to them snags it first, but since there isn't much snake interest around here, and this ad has been in the paper that came out over a week ago and it's still available I'm hoping for the best.
So if you're looking for a BP in the near future keep your eyes open for a possible ad from me.
