Hey Kevin, this species is usually used as feeders for elapids. They sell for 10-15 here and around 25 for captive born individuals, so 80 in my opinion is alittle high. Although they are worth whatever you are willing to pay and are neat snakes. Here is a great link on them House Snakes (http://www.kingsnake.com/housesnake/captive.html).
