So she got all 3 for $120.00 plus $55.00 shipping. Not often do you come across deals that good. But i guess the price up there are high, because you don't have everybody and their brother breeding them like we do here.

Thank you very much I love my bloods... one of them almost tagged me yesterday, I was feeding and she was just about done still had the tail to go. so I went in to replace her hide, with the tail still in her mouth she lunges at me and mid strike swallows the tail and tries to bite me! ... I almost peed myself haha

I think it is, but that's just me. A lot of breeders are really just in it for the money and prices are based on supply and demand, but in this case the supply is as low as the demand, so the cost should be low.

A friend who breeds her Blacks had babies at home for a year because she wouldn't let them go for less than $300 each. There are very few people up here who are into Bloods, and as such they can be hard to move. There is such little interest in them that I've never allowed breeding of mine because I know I'd never find good homes for them. Even places like Kijiji have the same Bloods listed month after month after month because there's just no interest.

My first Blood cost me $350 and I was very happy to pay it, but that was over 10 years ago and it was almost impossible to find a Canadian-bred Blood back then. That snake is still going strong with me, but I won't let him breed because of the lack of interest in them.

If you find the price okay and it won't put a dent in your pocket, go for it. Perhaps there is higher demand in your area to justify the price. I know you can find the odd Black in my area on Kijiji for around $150, but like I said, there's simply no interest in them in this one-horse town. Here in Ottawa, a body would have a hard time giving 1 away and an even harder time giving 2 away

very interesting... I feel as though the interest in them is slowly going up in Canada, at least over here Toronto I feel it is... Hopefully the whole hobby increases in interest in the new future for us Canadian or i might be moving to the States

The Blacks I was mentioning were bred in BC and they were taken to an expo there to see if they could be sold, but they didn't find homes with the exception of 1 that Caylan had arranged to pick-up at the expo.

One has since found it's way to Ottawa, actually and it's doing well, but there are so few other Blood keepers in this 1-horse-town that'll it'll probably never mate.

As much as I'd love my big boy brong to pass-on his awesome genes, I just don't see it happening

Keep us posted as to the Blacks

I paid 450 for my girl, so it was a bit more then most would pay. But I saw the parents, I knew what I was getting, and I love the snake I got. Her black is black and her brown is turning grey just like I thought it would. She is turning into a true black beauty! Quality costs money, and its not so easy to find in Canada either....

[dshin963]

I cant wait to start breeding my bloods I am not looking to make ridiculous money off of them but I want to increase the interest in bloods... Im planning on selling the blacks for 200-250 each when they are breeding... Its a long time away so im not too worried right now... The red bloods I plan on selling them for 100-150...

[dshin963]

Me and a buddy are thinking of opening a shop in Toronto within the next decade... Soo hopefully all works out well.
