Figured I would post this over here give some insight on how I make mone from snakes.

- I am going to bring up a list of a couple morphs of snakes that I have and so you how much I sell them for.
- Normal BP goes for $35 at a show $65 Pet Store $45 Internet
- Pastel BP $100 to $400
- Pewter BP $1000 to $2500
- Clown BP $4000 to $6500
- Spyder BP $200 to $400
- Albino BP $500 to $1200
- Ghost BP $300 to $600
- Cinnamon $400 to $600


That’s just a few of them. That I have now when you cross breed them say the Clown and a Pastel and they produce a Pastel Clown that’s a $8500 snake. Many more I can list just trying to make this short and simple.

I can also go into about Het’s and Co Dom’s but just giving a run down.

Now feeding and housing I run rack setups which are cheap and you can build them yourself heat them by heat tape. I breed the mice All you need to do is go to the local pet shop and buy about Ten get them to breed they are like Rabbits. I check all my snakes twice a day takes about 5 minutes make sure cages are clean and have water. Feeding all of them takes me about 30 minutes throw a mouse or rat in a enclosures and let them eat.

There is also other consideration say if you are selling to a pet shop a reptile show or over the internet to a private bidder. Most of my sells are at shows cause it’s cheaper for transport compared to shipping a snake.

Here are some pictures of Snake Racks Mouse and Rat Racks and some Snake with Prices.

Rodent Racks

Snake Racks

Pie Bald BP $2500 & UP

Paradox Albino $5000 & UP

These are just some examples I have a friend that comes in and takes care of them when I am away I give him free Rodents and Some normals for him taking his time to do so.

There is a really big industry for this and make great money. Albino Gators go for $80,000 some BP have gone for $100,000 I can list everything that I know of and what not but that would take over two pages of run down.

Hope This helps out a little bit.

 

I hate snakes.....

 

I like them and they make me extra money. There is a really big market for Exotic animals.

 

Ha yea extra money is always a plus! But I'll stick with my yellow lab, thats "exotic" enough for me

Got any this big? I'm glad this thing is dead!!!

Damn, that is one heck of a set-up you have going on over there.

I had no clue that snakes cost that much, I'm doing go to spend 50 dollars on any pet.

Congrats and good luck with that.

Don't think that one was dead, unless they shot it for trying to eat the camera man

 

The Exotic Animal Market is really big. I mean the biggest BP is the Banana clown and when it was first produced it was listed at $120,000 Grand There is 11 of them. Thats $1,320,000 if all the snakes sold at that price. not bad when all you got to do is have some fun with snakes.

 

hey Speaksup

I have a good friend of mine here in town that has an exotic pet store.

Subterranean Jungle

She is cool (even though she is my ex )... I go in there and she trys to get me to handle the snakes and I am like HELL NO!

I bought her first Frilled Dragon for her. I still have visitation rights to him! LOL

 

Frilled Dragons are cool My sweetest Dream is have a Diesel/BAR/Petshop and the house within walking distance but far enough that no one is going to park in my living room

 

ya she has i think 4 or 5 of them now. I go over and give them baths and hold em. I like them a lot! She has all sorts of stuff there. although biz has been stupid slow for her. maybe you guys could help each other sell goodies

 

Whats her name Im sure she is on kingsnake.com - the information portal for reptile and amphibian hobbyists. where the classifieds I might have taled to her. Theres a new law trying to pass to ban selling reptiles over state lines like they did with Bears and Tigers.
