A Black Snake

I don't know if this may push it, but I am wondering f anyone has a below 20 dollar black snake. I just like black snakes for no reason. It doesn't matter what type of snake. If not a black snake, then an all white snake but not albino. If you know anyone, tell me. My max is 30 dollars.

Re: A Black Snake

Not sure on the common price for them but a black ratsnake may be good but they have white undersides. Don't see them for sale to often out here in SD. Is $30 you max price for the snake alone or for everything it needs? I would get a Mexican black kingsnake if I were you. Can get CBB babies for $50 out here.

Re: A Black Snake

I'm looking for all black or all white. And yes, 30 max for just the snake.

Re: A Black Snake

You might have a hard time finding anything within that price range. Unless you get lucky and find someone that just wants to get rid of a snake that was previously a pet of theirs and they aren't trying to make much of a profit.

Re: A Black Snake

Well I can go ahead and tell you that an all white snake is pretty much out of the question for 20 bucks. What's with the extremely low price requirements? Why don't you save up? Or do you have to have a snake NOW!? Black racer or Mexican black kings what you're looking for.

Re: A Black Snake

I've heard that many people have had trouble getting black racers to eat in captivity. Most are WC. No sure if anybody is working with them.

Re: A Black Snake

If your income is that limited, I would suggest not getting a pet right now.

Is that a I figured it would be best to wait? Or, I figured everyone would say not to get one now, so ill have to figure it out myself? I'm hoping not the latter.

I think this doesn't make much sense. IF somebody has the aspects of husbandry under control, what's wrong with them being on a budget in terms of how much they'll spend on an animal?

Re: A Black Snake

well, she was just posting the other day that she couldn't afford the pinkies and fuzzies to feed her current snakes and was looking for bargains online...that may be why that comment was made....

Didnt see any posts that says that. I did see her thread about looking for a cheaper place to get food but that was it.

Re: A Black Snake

I don't exactly have a lot of money, so I am trying to cut it short when it comes to feeding. Anyone mind helping??

idk how to quote from other threads but this is what was posted (copied and pasted) from her thread...I'm not cutting anyone down, by any means...I hate that...but just saying...

Re: A Black Snake

I thought maybe there would be cheap snakes available. That is all.

I don't keep track of everything people post. I probably just missed that. If that is the case, then I agree that getting another snake is a bad idea.

Objectively though, I see nothing wrong with setting a budget on how much you want to spend on a snake. 30 dollars can buy you a perfectly fine animal.
