average wholesale price of cornsnake=$8-25. would I be happy feeding and housing a pair of snakes with the intention of breeding it and making $100 off the clutch, no. We don't keep ball pythons for the money but we do keep over 100 of them (will be over 200 by the end of this year) to make extra money and I have no problem saying that. I have kept various snakes for the last 20 years and will always have snakes in my house. Corn snakes can lay double clutches of 25 eggs so it's feasible that one mature female can lay over 50 eggs in one year. It can take 10 years for one female ball python to lay that many. Are the prices on ball pythons comming down, YES. Will they continue to come down, YES. Do I think prime examples of any morph will be less than $100, not in my lifetime and I will be very content on making $500 per clutch.
