Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Best way to sell a couple of snakes
So I am going to be up front and honest here. My daughter brought home a couple of snakes. One should be male and one should be female. She bought them with her Christmas money. She bought them without permission. She has been keeping them in a cage in her closet.
I know she isn't caring for them right. She can't by food for them. Mom to the rescue. I don't like picking out a little rat or mouse. I know my cats and dogs hunt/kill/eat the rats around the barn. I just don't like shopping for live dinner. I prefer my steak without a face if you get my point.
I don't know anything about snakes. I want to sell them. I was hoping for guidance on the best way to sell them. Not a fan of craigslist. When I want something for my horses I go to a horse related site, I would prefer a snake type of site for this too.
So - What should I put in the ad? What kind of info do people want to know? What are good places? What is a fair price? I would like to get back what she paid for them cage and all.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would like to part with them quickly so don't want to over price.

Post moved to "General Herp Talk" forum instead.
Hi Rosa - perhaps the best start would be if you can post pictures of the snakes in question, then others will be better able to assist you. In your case, if you are able to post pictures of the snakes next to a common object (dollar bill, soda can) it will give others a point of reference for size, weight, etc. Thanks!

Pictures, location, price. There is an excellent classifieds section right here. Photos are important though.

My daughter is sending me better pictures. It's hard to take a picture of an animal when you don't want to open the cage.
Looking at the ads I thought this site was for breeders or professional sellers. Where do the private individuals post their stuff? Do I just put it under ball pythons?

Pictures first. We don't know what you have yet, unless you are sure they are "ball pythons". The site is for everyone minus scammers and spammers.

She was told one was male, one was female. She didn't pay to figure out which one was which. The male (supposedly) is about 4ft, the female (again don't hold me to it) is 4 1/2ft.

I just bought them a couple of small rats last night. I don't know how often they should be fed. The guy at the pet store said twice a week. I just don't want to feed them when they aren't hungry.
My Aunt's snake won't eat if it isn't hungry and I remember a friend with a snake that would do the same. The poor mice would have to sit in the cage until the snakes decided to eat. I know I am being a silly girl - I get the whole animals have to eat thing, but I can't stand seeing a mouse sit in a cage with the predator right there. Yes, I live on a farm. I have had to end an animals suffering. I cannot cause the suffering.
