Re: Price for similis
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.

Re: Price for similis
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...

Re: Price for similis
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

Re: Price for similis
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.

Re: Price for similis
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.

Re: Price for similis
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
