I looked in a store today and saw what looked like a 6month old mexican black kingsnake, for £90 is this a good price? :)

I would personally say that at £90 for a 6 month old its a bit overpriced. I remember seeing an adult in a local shop for £80 a couple of years ago.

Just had a quick look at 888reptiles as they ften have mexican blacks in stock and found this. Less than a year old and significantly cheaper. http://www.888reptiles.co.uk/productdetails.php?ProductID=935&ProductGroupID=521

Take to the shop owner and see if he'll come down a bit, or shop around and see what else you can find.

However, if the snake is in good health and you're willing to pay the money then go for it, its only a small price when you consider that it could be a great pet for up to 20 years
