hi i was just wondering how long it actually takes to sell all of the babies from a regular boa breeding."around 20 babys". will my local pet store buy them. do i just start putting them up on places like reptilemarket or kingsnake.

that is going to depend entirely on you.
Petstores will usually take some of them, but at very cheap prices so they can make a profit. I wouldnt be surprised to be offered $20 a peice for them, wholesale prices.

Kingsnake or any other website, not a bad idea if you dont mind shipping. again, will depend on the asking price by you, and how the animals look.

depending on how you go about it and the price you ask, you could sell the babies very quickly, or very slowly. Entirely on your preference of profit, or lack thereof

so if i sold them at like 125 a snake shipping included it could take a couple of months to sell all of them.or if sold them for like 100 shipping included. maybe i could sell all of them in a month or so.

how fast you sell them all depends on the demand. if there are a lot of people looking for normal boas at the time, 125 including shipping should sell fairly quick as that is essentially the price at a petstore, if they are not selling at that price as fast as you want, you just drop the price till they sell faster.
