ive been getting lots of people coming to me and asking if I want to buy their corns and i've been getting ups and downs of prices for seemingly equally colourful, healthy specimens. This brings up the question- what should I be paying for an adult corn snake?.[/img]

Depends on if it's a normal or a morph. Go have a look at cornsnake.net for an idea of pricing.

It really depends. If it's someone looking to sell their unwanted pet, then it should be way less than from a breeder.

Pricing of snakes needs to be based on several factors. Morph, age(you've stated an adult), and where you buy from. Breeder, hobbyist, etc. As Skunky said, check out this site- www.cornsnakes.net They have a lot of different morphs with their prices.

And it's people coming to you, asking you to buy the snakes, am I right?

The only problem with looking at prices on a website is usually that the prices listed are for hatchlings.

Adult prices can vary greatly depending obviously on the morph, but also on the gender and "quality" of that morph. For example, baby Lavs can run from about $75-$80 (give or take), but I've seen an adult female being sold for $400. But, I also scored a pair of almost adults (they'll be ready to go next season, though they probaby could breed now but I don't want to breed too young) for $210. But, that was at an expo, and it was extremely cheap.

You can always find deals, and you can always find what may seem to be overpriced individuals.

I would find out what morph it is and we can try to give you a target price.

its a snow corn

Hatchling Snows run for $25-$30. More for an adult.

I haven't paid more than $100 for and adult Snow yet, but both were purchased at shows.

I've seen an adult snow go for $125. That was at a pet store though. My Okeetee cost $150, but he is an ex-breeder from Simon Fung, who's Okeetee line was originally Kathy Love's. Also, he was 7yrs old. So all that factors in as the said price.

I paid $75 for my adult okeetee he was 4 yr at the time
