I am off to look at the snakes on Saturday, keep reminding myself I will not be coming home with one but I am stupidly excited about going.
Going to a relatively nearish Garden centre after speaking to the guy there, but still not sure what they charge and what colours they have, but he said he has a fair range of hatchlings.
Hope they are not stupid expensive like my local reptile store (£70-80 they were charging, would be on the expensive side at 1/2 the price...right?) |

What is the local place called, and where is it?
We have members spread throughout the country so there's a chance that someone has already been there. |

| Rep shops are on the expensive side they will say it to cover food and lighting and heating they use for the snakes. It could mayb be a caseof seeing if there is a breeder near you i cant find one near me so got to pay wat is asked from rep shop |

It may not be my choice to make. The guy at the garden centre said he commonly does not allow the snake to go home the first time someone comes in to buy one, normally telling them to return in a week...presumably to allow them time to get the snakes home set up and do some research. |

I went and the guy was great, didnt really say anything I felt contradicted what I have read here.
His Anerys were lovely, though a month or two (I would guess) bigger than I wanted, they where very small, but the largest of the hatchling sizes he had.
However once again the prices were £60-70 for them, I really want one asap but wish I could find one for the £30 mark or less others have got theirs for. Thats kind of what my budget has been based on and it is fairly fixed.
What would others do in my situation? What is my next step?
Basically I wanted a snake early April, however as that looks unlikely unless I am willing to pay pretty much enough for 2 snakes Unless someone can recommend a fairly local breeder where driving to them would cost the same in petrol as the difference in their prices to the store.
Also Early May I will be driving from here (South Devon) to Hertfordshire and again in Early June so is there anywhere on that trip someone could recommend |
