Coastal Carpet Python Price?

[dougefresh]

Hey guys,
Was lookin around at some LPS's today, and I found two coastal carpet's for $150 a piece, both were a little over two feet. Is this a good price? I ususlly see them around for $300, but I didn't know if I could find them cheaper at an expo because I've never really shopped for them. Thanks for any input.

want my opinion that's too high check around online like kingsnake.com/classifieds/pythons... I've seen them cheaper so look around unless you just have to have that one from the store...

I buy my coastals at 125-150 each. From Mardy, a very good carpet breeder here in Canada. And thats for a baby Jag sib. So it depends what they look like for them to be 150 each.

I got one of my coastals for $60 and the other for $115. Probably not what would generally be considered high-quality breeding stock by most carpet breeders, but they're pretty snakes anyhow and I'm happy with them.

I'd stay away from pet stores though. I only buy snakes at reptile shows. You're less likely to get screwed with an over-priced, unhealthy snake.
