If you can help me or give me pointers or examples it would be great. I have never haggled during a snake purchase in my life, mind you it's not for a lack of wanting. I'm not good at it.

I have read multiple instances online where people even are dealing with major breeders and they state "got a great deal", "spoke with so and so and got her for an awesome price" etc. etc.

This has never happened to me in my life. I see a snake I want and pay asking price as if I didn't even know it was possible. Any advice would be wonderful or stories.
