This is rediculous -.-

Local pet store by my dad's house just got a new shipment in, they are usually good with prices but this... this is rediculous.

Here I thought our prices were high. Up here a baby MBK sells for $100-120.

Yeah, it kinda does. It could also just be the lighting. This shop has been going down hill and treat their rats/mice pretty bad. I only go there because that is where my dad buys his rats

Poor thing looks like a chewed on rubber snake =(

Mine was only 40$ from BHB, though I also had shipping which made thenwhole cost like 75$ I think.

Re: This is rediculous -.-

The make in the photo appears to have a scale issue as well. For that price the animal should be perfect. Why buy yourself a expensive headache. They must be kidding with that price for that animal.

Yeah, idk lol. And since it's a new shipment that just came in, they shouldn't be selling these right away. They should make sure they are fine and healthy for a few weeks before selling.

Gotta wait for the 50% off sale, haha. Otherwise ask the seller why the prices are so high. Is the animal a 2 or 4 gene animal with special genetics or something?? Highway robbery.

It looks a little skinny but could just be the picture, it would be better to determine that in person or knowing length+weight.

Re: This is rediculous -.-

I've seen hatchling MBKs at my nearest LPS for $349.99. I always expect pet stores to have higher prices than breeders just because of markup and shipping expenses, but $350 for an MBK? Really??
