Blood's in the UK?! *Help*

cactuskent Aug 16, 2004 08:08 AM

I've been trying to get hold of a blood for quite some time now (Over a year infact)
Browsing this forum I see red's that have been purchased for $85(which surely is a steal in any country ) and STRIPED borneos bought from shows at $175, with many more blood's being bought regularly for less. However, in the UK I only see a few select breeders selling their red hatchlings in the region of £350 (Which converts to roughly $700 I believe)
Although blood's are undoubtebly one of the most beautiful snakes around, I can't help but feel these prices are a little steep.
Does anyone know of British breeders, or private keepers that sell their blood's at more competitive prices? I am interested in a male red/borneo or black (One of each eventually)

If you could pass along information I would be very greatful, thanks.

Hey,
I can put you on to UKBob, and he might know of someone or someother breeders in the UK, that might have a better price. Send me an email, and I'll put you on to him.

I live in Denmark and didnt have much of a problem. Took me about 2 weeks to track down a baby female. Dont go for the captive bread ones that are bread in the UK but captive bread ones imported from the USA. Mine is captive bread in the USA, in perfect health and i paid about 150£ for her.

Good luck.
