I don't imagine a lot of you here give a flip about African house snakes, but this really pisses me off.

$95 for CB albino House snakes?!?!?

Two years, these snakes were regularly selling for $300. Now they've been holding at about $130-150. Now...not only $95, but $85 FOR LOTS?!?!?!?!?

By the time I breed my snakes next year, God knows what the going price will be then. I almost don't even want to do it more. People suck.

Its a sign of the times. Demand for many snakes is down due to the economy and new stuff coming out. Motley boas were 2-3K just 3 years ago. Now I see them for 300 and motley het snows for not much more. It stinks but hang in there. I believe it will get better.

I can see why you'd be mad! That's not as bad as some different species are getting hit, but if they held and sold at $130-$150, no reason to drop like that!

Exactly. There's no good reason for the price to be that low.

Tell me about it..... I paid $2,500 for my male. He produced some PERFECT motleys that I can't get a nibble on at $300.00.
