I have a 6' red bull and two 3'to 4'cal kings and mass of corn eggs about to hatch.I went the local pet shops but they just want to give mice for them or say no they don't want adults.What should I do.TIA

Well fist off I must ask if there is a local herp club you attend? Or do any shows/expos come to your area? Since you don't have too much to move maybe you can work something out with someone who does sell a lot of animals. You did not state why you want to move the adults? If you are not interested in them anymore offer to trade them for things that do interest you, video games dvds etc....or if you still want to keep snakes maybe you can offer all you have to someone for just one or 2 snakes that you'd really like to have. Any other way will definitely cost you money to participate or advertise other than a few auction type websites but then you will most likely have to ship,...which I am guessing is not a good option for you.

Put the animals on consignment. Tell them this is what I want, anything above that you can have. It works well for me to cut back on extra animals. It seems I am a magnet for unwanted animals.
