Re: A Black Snake

don't get me wrong..i'm NOT cutting anyone down...seriously...I set budgets for animals too...but I know I can support them before I do, is all...I breed mice and rats...so food supply is not a problem for me...right now its available space...3 story home, but temp regulating and not spacing them too far apart to take care of is the issue for me...if it's a money issue with someone I worry about the animals suffering...

You too, Sharlynn! And I as well have found this site very useful.

Re: A Black Snake

Pretty sure the only snakes you can get for $20 is certain garters and corns.

i have a black rat. black rats are 50 - 60$, and i have a luestic rat, who is all white, and she was 125$.

i would advise going on one of the sites i list below..

Reptiles for Sale
Exotic Reptiles For Sale!
Reptiles & Amphibians For Sale - Ships Same Day Ordered
Reptiles for Sale - Free Shipping Over $100 at Reptile City

there's one more i always look at but i cant remember what it is.

Those sites have pretty bad reputations. Pluss shipping costs alone would be over the op's budget.

Re: A Black Snake

I'm thinking of maybe getting either a Red Tail Green Rat or an Eastern Cal King when I save some bucks.

Re: A Black Snake

You are pretty new to snakes right? I would stay away from Red tail green rats for now. Not a beginner species.

Large reptile breeders like BHB and Reptile Industries/Reptmart sell black rat snakes for 20 bucks. Of course the Shipping will kill you, but if you lived close, you could pick the snake up yourself. Even pretty cool morphs like leucistic, albinos and licorice aren't particularly pricey.

If there was a hobby breeder near you, they'd probably sell you their normals for 20-30 dollars.

I would be cautious with this choice. I don't know your experience with snakes but if you want one of these guys...you gotta be pretty experienced.
