Need help selling snakes- HOW TO?

jncoclub · 08-27-03, 10:07 AM

I would post this in the classifieds, but I am first asking for assistance, not right out placing an ad.

I need to sell my snakes because I’m moving to Hawaii. What info should I make sure to list in the classified ads to ensure a detailed, fair, good transaction to a good informed responsible person? Also, if shipping is required- how do you go about setting all of that up? Please help me out; I need to sell my girls by the mid/end of Sept.

Thanks, Jennifer

I'm not sure about shipping. But I find classified ads most helpful with obviously a price, a little blurb about their temperament and their eating habits and a picture is always really helpful.

bloodlines and record availability, birth date and sex of course, general info on the specific animal, ability to provide any reciepts you have or copies, previous seller/breeder info if available. Shipping air, probably delta dash in the states, ground probably greyhound 2 day express or Fed-Ex clearly marked live animal/keep cool/avoid direct sun, well insulated and padded

Ahh- meet my ladies:

~2 yr old female ball python about 4 ft- beautiful and o-so sweet!

~1 yr 4 month female Colombian boa, great red colors on her tail, about 3 ½ feet long- very strong, but gentle. (look at my avatar)

~ 1 ½ year female hogg isle who is about 3 ½ feet long- she’s always laying out and moving around to see what’s happening.

~ 1 year old female burm with great light colors who wouldn’t eat for the first several months when we first got her as a wee baby, but now eats like a champ and is growing like a weed! She’s a little over 4 feet and is the most docile of them all. If it make any sense, if this snake had hair- she’d be blond!

Everyone eats f/t rats, but the ball has been a bit finicky lately- but then again, she is a ball. I can supply more info if anyone is interested. Go to my photo gallery and you can see picks of everyone. I have some new ones that I need to scan into my comp.

BTW- I would be offering tanks/setups with the snakes.
