The price on Mojaves seems to be dropping daily, but last time I checked females go for around $200-240? So I think you could negotiate a bit lower, since reptile shows are the perfect place for haggling! The vendors are especially flexible in the final hours, but you also risk losing out on the available Mojaves by then.

My most successful haggling story? I went to the San Diego show last year, and was specifically looking for a HOT female Stimson's Python (to breed with my male). I passed a few that were unremarkable, and then came to a table with a few really nice Stimsons. This one gal in particular caught my attention - she was about a year old, with the most beautiful coloring & these amazing yellow eyes. I think he was originally asking $250, nearly double what he was asking for the others, since she was "special." I bargained with him for about 10 minutes, left to think about it, and came back to haggle some more... ended up getting her for $175, if memory serves. Not bad, eh?

I think she was worth every penny!
