Price for similis

[smy_749]

Is 400 $ for 2 captive bred baby varanus similis a good deal ?

Can you afford to keep them? Do you have the space/experience to keep them? Good rodent supplier?
Duno about the states but thats a great price for canada, check kingsnake.com for US prices.

I'm not planning to buy them, someone had them posted for 250$ each, and I said what if i order 2 , and he knocked 50 $ of each one right away. So I was just curious as to why he bumped the price so low right away...

Who is it? There aren't many people breeding similis so I'm guessing we probably know whoever it was. I'd ask for pictures of CBB and a video of present health

I was just curious price wise, like I said, not planning to purchase them. LLL reptile has them for like 260 dollars so it sort of suprised me in the 200 dollar range.

Egg hatching pics too, + parents etc.

This is probably a stupid question, but I thought australia didn't allow export to the US with regards to reptiles, and that similis was strictly a northern australian species. Where do wild caughts come from then? (Again sorry if thats a stupid questioN)

Edit; got my answer, they are "farm bred" :S

V. similis are not found only in Australia. They are also found in New Guinea and adjoing islands.

I can say with certainty, you will not find true US CBB similis. Not even farmed ones. They will most likely be wild caught.

Thanks for the info guys. Wont ever buy from a person who claims cbb or w.e when its not. Can't be trusted to put the right title, can't be trusted with my credit card for sure,...

LLL reptile sells some disgusting animals lol, everyone I know who buys from them gets mite infested stuff :P

[smy_749]

Have never purchased from them, they don't breed their own animals usually, and most likely dont "confirm" where anything came from. Just resellers with a well known name. Their prices aren't so great either, I just like to browse prices, like to see whats available for how much lol
