Red face prices of babies

im starting to breed boas and mexican black king snake, i know what to do witrh the eggs etc once they have been lay and with the boas whn they are born, thing is in her last lot she had 60 (the boa)

i want to know what the chances are of selling them all, and how much your average baby common boa goes for after its first shed and first meal, or is it best to keep them longer, which i know raises an issue with space :-/

So basically what im wanting to know is:

A) How much will a baby boa sell for
B) does anyone know what pet shops will buy them for
C)Whats the chances of me selling em all?

thanks

I think what you need to do is read up on breeding the speices you are interested in. Its best to have the hatchlings feeding regularly before selling them on and that doesnt mean they will instantly sell, you may be left with some for months. The average price for a baby is £50 but this may change in time. Different pet shops will buy them for different prices but they need to mark up the price themselves so wont pay much per baby.

If you sell them at a reasonable price, then they should sell without too much problem.

If I were you, concentrate on the MBK's, everyone seems to be after one atm! Just need to find a female to go with my male
