a 7ft female african rock python would sell for??

johnrandle · 09-29-08, 04:54 AM

about 150 - 200 maybe i have seen a pair of them go for 200, both over 6 feet. most people dont want them because they are stupid.
worst snake ever to keep as a pet.

johnrandle · 09-29-08, 12:44 PM

lol GET RID OF IT! they get so huge and only want to eat you. seriously.

Please don't indicate that the reason that the rock python is not a popular kept species is because they are "stupid". It has nothing to do with the intelligence of the animal

It's got a lot to do with nobody has taken the time to really breed some, making most of the ones still brought in as wild caught.

lol they are a stupid idea to keep. thats for sure. very dangerous. especialy for a 17 year old.

lol well i got a hell of a deal for it but now im tryin 2 get rid of it on craigslist but people keep flagging my ads i put up

So use the reptile forum classifieds. All the forums. You MIGHT get someone interested in buying it. A tip though, try selling it for what you got or even less. They are difficult snakes to sell.

i only paid 20 bux for it

johnrandle · 10-01-08, 02:07 PM

yeah well most people end up giving them away or paying somebody to take them. they are generally mean and poop everywhere and try to eat you. i suggest you find it a new home fast even if it costs you money or you lose your 20 bucks. buy a boa or a nice ball or something else a little less crazy.

Another well thought out purchase of a "disposable" pet that shouldn't be in the "trade" to begin with

Forget trying to sell it & start looking for a WORTHY reptile rescue as it is that snakes ONLY hope of recieving the proper care it deserves. Keepers that are WORTHY of such creatures are few & far between. Mark

Very few and very far between Mark.

Most people just seem to overlook what they are actually purchasing and just see the price tag.

First thing they are not dumb, they are beautiful snakes that haven't really been domesticated and if you want to get rid of it I would advise giving it the The Snake Sanctuary Reptile Rescue and Adoption | "Even The Cold Blooded Need A Warm Heart" Or at leats someone who can really take care of it.

**Aaron_S** · 10-03-08, 06:36 PM

No snake is really domesticated, and I guarantee none ever will be.

Finn · 10-03-08, 06:41 PM

Ya but some snakes know not to eat us and others think were their oversized rat. I meant domesticated as in some have had some of their wild instincts breed out of them and others still have it full throttle...
