If a seller is desperate to get rid of snakes, that makes them worth a lot less....but whatever that worth is, is determined only by the willingness of the seller to part with them.
I would agree with you Judy if it was a question that I was asking myself...(like how much are my snakes worth to me)...but since this person is asking others for their "worth"...he is clearly asking about a selling price as you point out WE cannot provide "worth" to him...only a market value.
