Default CB07 Bumblebee Royal Python

Alas, I can't afford to keep him (he is for sale from Reptile Cymru, Cardiff), otherwise I would!

Mike Wilbanks CB07 Bumbleebee Male Royal Python.

Currently feeding on live rats hence price. I already have buyers waiting for him if he doesn't sell before I convert him to defrost... so I am only interested in selling as is, at the moment.

£1500. No offers. Experienced people with live->defrost only. I will ask questions and reserve the right to refuse sale. I will withdraw this price if he takes defrost with me and he will then be for sale at a higher price to reflect this.

I will deliver anywhere in England/Wales for £50, Scotland for £100 (sorry, but I'd need a hotel overnight!) Also welcome reptile taxi etc. but I will not TNT.

As I've said to you, I think that is a stonking price for a bumble bee. If he was on F/T I'd have him, but I just dont have the time for live feeders at the moment.

Were you aware of what he was eating when you bought him? Just wondering as it is a lot of money to pay out if you weren't told/hadn't checked.

Yes, I was perfectly aware... what he is feeding on is not the reason he is for sale, and as you can see, the next buyer is being informed of his feeding

That is simply reflecting in the price, I have no doubt that with time I will get him onto defrost and I have the experience to do so... but I am offering him at a discount if someone else wants to spend that time, instead of waiting and paying a higher price. No one wants him as he is, that is no probem, he will be availabe when on f/t at an increased price.

As anyone who imports from the USA knows, live feeding is the norm over there and just one of the hazards of picking snakes up at reduced prices to retailers in the UK. Considering I am a retailer and not a breeder, I think this price is more than fair

Yes sorry, I wasn't questioning the price just the reason for selling on so quickly. I thought he was for yourself rather than to sell as a retailer as the ad is in "snake classifieds" rather than "shop classifieds"
I realise most US stock is live fed. No offense meant.

None taken

Shop classifieds is for mixed stocklists, I put all my individual "specials" in the animal section.
