this is the first show im going to and im trying to come up with a budget for daytona...and i have a couple of question i was hoping some of you can answer..

What is the average price for adult normal females at shows (ex. daytona)..
and do snakes really sell cheaper at shows?

thanks for the help,
Alex

Hey Alex,

I'm going to base my info on Daytona last year...

I saw many adult females selling from $75 up. Proven females were more.

Yes, animals will sell cheaper towards the end of day two. People don't usually want to take animals home if they can sell them. Shop around all the tables - depending on what you want, there's probably going to be a lot of people there with the same animal. If you will be there both days, wait to purchase on Sunday if you can help yourself. Purchasing multiple animals from the same breeder will also get you discounts. If you're only looking for one snake, see if you can get together with a friend or two looking to pick up something, and buy from the same breeder/table as long as they have what everyone is looking for, of course.

Daytona is so much fun. I'm really excited to go this year!
