How much would a GTP cost a reptile show? average price.

[juddb]

I got a Merauke GTP neonate at the long island reptile show Nov 1st last yr, at the beginning of the show they were asking 350$ but by the end of the show he gave em to me for 300$ and he's been doin great ever since you gotta be careful tho, they're so delecate when they're that small, idk how old mine was when i got him but damn was he small, he's grown up quite a bit....AND HE'S GOT THE CRAZIEST FEEDING RESPONSE 2!
whatever you do dont put a neonate in a display cage ive seen it a lot at pet stores, they're too out in the open and with screen tops, humidity is always an issue. a small tub at first with an UTH works great, then once they're big enough a display cage is good. I think they're much better off in a tub at first, they're hidden, secure. another side note, i purchased my adult GTP for $380

Im assuming at prices like that, they are imported. The OP was looking for captive bred i believe.

i'd have to say that is true! but go for it! not my money!

$300 bucks from a great breeder and guy Ben Team

gtp prices have dropped a lot in the past few years - you can absolutely find cbb from cbb parents for in the $300 range now. I wouldn't expect to see them much lower though.

I would certainly be willing to pay more for a speciman from someone I trusted though...

The sad thing I am seeing is not only is the price dropping, but lately I have seen a lot of 09's available sexed.. THAT is scary..

i know who ben team is. are you friends with him or something?

deals like that are few and far between.

I have bought animals from Ben and we are cool but friends no not really, but my point was that there are nice $300 Chondros out there to be had. I didn't say they were everywhere or common, as a matter of fact it is fairly rare. However your comment was

BTW it seems as if you only have $300 to spend as per your other posts....you won't get a US captive bred anywhere for that price.

anytime you see adults, or neos for 350 or under at shows, they are FB and not USCB.

That just isn't the case, look I understand the OP made you all mad or whatever but don't take it out on me.

i agree.. i see CBB neo's all the time in the $275-350 range. main reason being that GTP's aren't the most popular snake and a lot of people don't have $500 to spend on a pet.

[Lucas339]

chuck, not taking it out on you....was curious cause that price is low for animal. sounded like a friend price.

Actually thats not that uncommon of a price anywhere from 300 to 400 is average at all the expos I have been to.

Sorry if im sounding like a sceptic. Do you have any paperwork for your animals, who produced the animal's?
