Hi, due to further health problems and lack of time, I am going to have to reduce down by at least half.
The adult grey band (male) will have to go, as will the chocolate cali juvenile male. Main problem is the local shop will offer a pittance and I have no idea what to ask for them.
Anyone interested or having any suggestions please contact me. I can supply up to date pics if required, or if you're near Newport, Shropshire arrange to come and have a look.
The above two both need handling, the choc always has been bitey, the adult recently bit me for the first time, never been known to shown any inclination before - maybe I had the wrong deodorant on? |

Sorry to hear that Grumpy- it's awful when you have to downsize.
Depending on what species they are I would probably think about 30-40 pound for a hatchling/yearling and about 40-70 pound for an adult is about average.
Hope that helps |

Hi Kaz, thanks, that helps a lot - local shop saying £20 each for all.
Not happy about this, but not fair on snakes at present, just trying to decide what I reall really want to keep - hard choice. |

Know exactly how you feel, as we are faced with the same situation.
We are cutting down on the corns though, because I think they are the real victims to our hectic lives since they seem to appreciate regular handling more than the others.
Just go with your gut instinct. Have you got any you plan to breed in the future? or any favourites that you just couldn't part with? |

Sorry for delay, had some form of "man flu" over weekend. Not keen on breeding with them, though my partner is/was. Rather not part with any of them, but I suppose realistically I'd want to keep the Tai and albino Cali - though, for their sake, they may be better off elsewhere. |

Going to have to let them all go, I think. Tai about 2 years old, would have to be a good offer.
Male Blair's was adult when I had him, no idea how old, seems active and alert.
The albino Cali, albino Blairs and chocolate Cali are all yearlings. Would consider letting the viv's go, an 18 inch square,30 inch and 4 ft low - not vivs alone as they're all occupied.
All snakes active and healthy, can post pics if required. |
