Remember you are asking a lot of the people that sell snake how to pay less for snakes. I feel if it's a marked price that's what it is I think it would be weird to ask a stranger for a deal. If you do business with someone often you will usually get some sort of loyal customer hook up once in a while, I mean a lot of breeders have very little over head cost like building rent paying employees ect so they might have wiggle room on a price.
i have never sold a snake. So just my thought
and if you want the best deal do what I did just an hour ago and pick up a snake from someone who is moving or joining the army or just tired of feeding cost. I just got a pastel female absolutely free just had to drive 20 miles
