how do i sale my lg Python snake?

Answer 1

well, you have a possible problem. How large is it? Many people end up getting pythons and boas as pets when they are small or as babies and then they get too big to handle. Zoos won't take them anymore because they have too many. Most people don't want to buy a large snake, they want smaller ones. You have a couple of options though:

1. check and see if there is a "herp" society in your area. These are people who have reptiles as a hobby. You may find someone in one of these groups who want it or know someone who rescues these.

2. check with local pet store. They may take it, or at least let you put up an ad to sell it.

3. check out local herp shows. These are usually big events where people from all over come to purchase reptiles. There are usually a number of larger snakes there. If you only have that one snake it wouldn't be worth it to set up a table yourself, but you may find a pet shop, or other group, who is going to have a table and they might give you some space to sell yours (you'll probably have to pay them)

4. Lastly, check for local rescue groups who might take it. Or you could even advertise in a local trade paper (one of those who don't charge you) or even put it in the regular paper (you'll have to pay for an ad).

With all of that said, you'll still probably have a hard time selling it. Alot depends on where you live too. but whatever you do, don't let it loose in the wild. It would probably die, or someone who sees it will kill it. And if it would ever injure someone or eat a pet, you could be held responsible if they know whose snake it is.

Alot depends on the size of the snake. A 6 foot ball python is going to sell easier than a 16 foot burmese. Also, depends on what you are throwing in with it. Such as tank, and accessories, but really, if it is a ball who is around 6 foot and you are putting in the tank and anything else you have; I wouldn't expect to get more than $75 to $125. You can go buy young ones for that price (I saw babies for $35.00 at a herp show in Hamburg, Pa a few weeks ago) and really if you hope to sell it you should take the first offer that comes around because you might be waiting a long time for the next.

give some more info -- where are you located? How big is it? Is it friendly? Is it eating live or frozen/thawed? Is it healthy? How old? and I'll do some checking around here to find out if there is anyone I know who would be interested, but at this point, I don't think anyone I know will. Good luck

Answer 2

Lg Python snake ?? What is large and what kind ? That would help. For some people large can be 3 feet and for others 20 feet is small. Depending on the species of python you have and if you are planning on air freight or delivery to a new owner are also factors. I do have clients that are looking for large pythons, let me know what you have in an e-mail and I will see if I can get a buyer for you ( you will be dealing directly with the buyer, not me).

Selling a Large Python is not easy. You will find plenty of idiots who want it but dont know the first thing about care, its just a novelty to them. My organization rescues Herps from this, alot of people dont think when getting one of these.
As for some resources....
www.petfinder.com
Here you cant "sell" but you can ask for a donation fee for the cost of its care. Go to the classified section and post.
www.kingsnake.com
They have a Classified section to post herps.
Keep in mind that a Python is sold for pretty cheap now adays. Alot of breeders just give them away after breeding them for so long. Thats how I got my Striped phase Boa, free. As a previous poster stated, you can get Ball Pythons for anywhere from $15-35.00(norms) now and boas(norms) for around 35-100.00. The only time you can get decent money on a herp is to sell it someone who doesnt know what its worth or if it has a good color phase.
Thats just reality.
I can get you a list of rescues in your area if you decide you need to surrender the animal.
Good Luck.

relies upon what you want a snake for. in case you opt for one which strikes round plenty and makes a sturdy talking factor or demonstrate animal - then you fairly are maximum suitable going with a corn snake because the color morphs are merely countless those days and they are really lower priced. They were promoting for everywhere between £20 and £80 on the Doncaster reptile tutor. Corns oftentimes feed ok and are an quite docile snake, an outstanding "starter". the dimensions differs searching on type, yet artwork on round 4 to 5 ft. they seem getting somewhat higher because being captive bred. A corn snake is clearly, a rat snake. Royal Pythons are chunky snakes, oftentimes docile and because the call shows, curls right into a ball and is satisfied to proceed to be that way fairly some the time. they are astounding animals yet no longer very energetic. Feeding might want to correctly be a authentic problem with Royals and may want to be very tricky to someone with little adventure of coping with this. fee? properly, i bypass back to the Doncaster reptile tutor 2 weeks in the past, a common Royal might want to be offered at many stalls for £40 each. the color morphs for the Royal are actual brilliant although - the purely problem is that the asking expenditures for those are both brilliant, some fetching quite a few thousand pounds each. another ingredient to think about is the enclosure or vivarium. Corns want room to bypass round as they are very energetic. Royals do not and in reality get lower than pressure if their section is merely too enormous, in my adventure Royals seem happiest at the same time as they have close, prevalent ecosystem somewhat than distinctive room to spare. Do your self a favour and bypass to a professional reptile keep and ask, ask, ask away!! carry out somewhat of your individual study too. finally, do no longer purchase any animal with out having considered it feeding. i won't be able to stress this adequate!!!

Answer 5

I still don't see a size or type-I have a reptile rescue and Burms are a large majority of the snakes given up-hard to place -even harder to sell! Try everything mentioned here-just don't take it and let it go! Look at what is happening in the Everglades! Good Luck!

Answer 6

Many herp forums also have a "classifieds' section to advertise your snake. Be specific of size, sex (if you know), age, and location (city, state). Also specify if you are willing to ship or not. This will get you more accurate resposes.

My favorite is http://redtailboa.net/
