Need Advice on Selling My Snakes (Mostly Breeding Age)
Due to health issues and other concerns, I have decided not to breed snakes. I need to sell them to someone who will give them a good home. Most are breeding size / age or very close to it. They've never been bred. All are very nice-looking. Some are exceptional.
I bought all the corn snakes directly from Kathy Love. My Arizona Mt. King (which I may decide not to part with) was bred originally by Chris Baubel. He's older than the others. I bought him full-grown.
Anyway, I have no idea what these snakes are worth. I want them to go to a good home, but I want a reasonably fair price for them, too. Probably it would be easier to tell me what they're worth if I take pics, which I will do as I am able. (I'll post them to this thread.)
Also, I'm not sure where to market them. Most Internet sites aren't too keen on posting animals. I paid a butt-load trying to sell my Louisiana milksnakes on kingsnake.com and a local paper and didn't get a single inquiry. Perhaps I asked way too much. I just don't know.
Anyway, I'd appreciate your input.
As of now I have the following:
1.2 Okeetee
1.0 Albino Okeetee
1.0 Crimson; 0.1 Hypo (share same gene for hypo, so they're a "pair")
1.1 Louisiana milksnakes
1.0 Arizona Mt. King
I gave away my female Mt. King after I learned from the vet she had cancer. One of my albino Okeetees got away in the house and I never found her. It's been quite awhile so I don't expect to find her.
