What's The Best Deal?
Over the past couple of years I've been pretty lucky with my reptiles being bought for pretty good prices. I'm curious to see what other people have "scored" for a good price/deal on their reptiles or anything else...
My best deals:
-Pair of Pewter BP's for $400
At the time females went for around $1,000, and males around $800. They were pretty small for being 3 months old at the time and have been growing slowly, but are very healthy and constantly eat even though they were originally fed live when I found them. The female is growing faster and lightening up with age. I look forward to breeding her in the future.
-Lesser Male for $80
I've noticed that they usually go around $200 here for a male. The past owner was so terrified of this little guy that he couldn't even sleep. It was easy to believe since his cage was filled with poop and excrement, and was really wet when we got him with the cage. Although he fed him all the time on live food making him a healthy and thick boy for a 4 month old. Glad I got him off his hands though!
I'm hoping these prices aren't too good to be true, but so far these guys have been amazing.

Re: What's The Best Deal?
- Albino Striped California Kingsnake (plus the tank she was in, two hides, water bowl, and UTH) for $65
The previous owner got her from a reptile show, but I saw the same morph online for $125. The girl took decent care of her, but she got a ball python and decided she liked its calmness better than the feistier king.

A pair for free? That's pretty nice, I'm jealous! I've recently looked them up and did some research, they look nice and contrasted. I hope you take the offer!

That's pretty nice of them, even though you offered to swap. Sounds like some good people indeed!

That's pretty good. It is always a nice bonus to get accessories with your new friend
And yes, the guy originally got him from a breeder friend of his for free but was too afraid of it to hold it or anything. Good deal for him but the fear doesn't exactly make it the best :P

That's really nice of whoever. (When I was younger and had a beardie, I gave up everything for free, though it was just a baby and I was just a kid, so it wasn't all of that good stuff.) Your deal likely tops anyone else's, so we can probably all give up now.

The people who had her were looking for a herper to rehome her to.
They asked me at least 20 questions about beardie care and the woman looked at her husband and said " he's our guy". I asked how much for everything and she said just to promise to take great care of her until the end of her days. Then the started bringing our more and more stuff.I feel horrible about one thing. She gave me her e-mail to keep her posted on how Dex was doing and I lost the paper on the way home. Must have dropped it loading/unloading the van.

Aw, that sucks. =/ Do you remember her name? Maybe you could find her on Facebook? (I know it's a long shot, but I was in her place years ago and I've never heard back from the person who took my beardie, and it bothers me to this day.)

Wish I did. It's been a year+ since we got her. It was also about 45 min drive away. I doubt I could find the house again

Re: What's The Best Deal?
I've recently got into larger snakes and a disabled guy I met was interested in snakes. I gave him a full set up 40 gallon breeder with clips, $20 habba hut, exo terra $30 water bowl, $30 heating pad, two large branches that the snake seems to like and a pastel ball python for $90.
