not advocating buying snakes at this store (though I don't know really whether it's a good, bad, or mediocre place) but at the local Pet Supplies Plus, they're $88. I got my little Rose on Craigslist for $40. Just taking in Kingsnake ads at a glance, but it looks like they're $50 and then on up. Even with the shipping on Kingsnake, it sounds like you'd be paying less for a nice baby - and in general I feel safer with breeders than pet stores.

Just to give you some insight on prices.
