I paid $75 for a yearling in Feb. of last year. It did not take me long to realize that I could have easily picked one up for half that at the Ohio Reptile Show. In a pet store...I would think they will try to get $70-$90 ballpark. At a show or from a reputable breeder...$40-$60 might be a more realistic range.
Selling to a dealer who is planning to re-sell, you might get $20-$30 each for a quantity. Those are really just ballpark figures...You will get/pay more or less as you travel from great shows to crappy pet stores. Also, those are figures for hatchlings or yearlings, not older animals. Although I saw a nice adult at the Ohio show for $40 last year.
BHB has his listed at $50, although the flyer I have from him is about a year old. It also stated that if the going rate is less that what he has listed, he will be "happy to discuss" it with you. You might check out his current prices under "dealers/breeders". Also, Dwight's page would give you some insight into this. Good luck buying or selling. Duffy
