I agree with this, everywhere I look-Kingsnake, Facebook, Fauna,, there are insane amounts of snakes up for sale and I often ask myself, are there really that many buyers to meet such a huge supply of snakes?
I think the guys that raise their animals to 'well started' i.e. $140g+, that was the buyer know they're buying a solid animal rather than one who has only eaten a max of 3 times and after the shipping stress could prove to be a finicky eater with not much body weight to support not eating for a few weeks to a month...
