    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How should I go about this?

This is not an ad.

So, I've been a member since 06 but I have never been active so forgive me if I seem absolutly clueless.

I'm trying to sell my ball but I'm not totally sure about how to go through with it. This site seems to be more angled towards breeders and such but I want to sell just one snake. I'm not comfortable shipping because I don't trust myself to do it right. I'm not exactly sure of her age but I am 100% sure it's a 'she'.

I got her from the owner of K&N Reptiles. I worked at a feed store that did buisness though him and he sold her to me saying she was about 7 years at the time (that makes her 9 now) and a proven breeder. So I can't actually say that she is proven, but he was my friend before I bought her so I trust him. She's over 2500g but I'm going to get an actual weight on her this afternoon.

I don't want to sell her through the local news paper because I know she is worth more than $50 dollars and most people looking in the paper are going to think I'm crazy for selling a snake for more than that. They are looking for pets. Also, I don't trust someone buying from the paper in the first place.

So, here is my question...questions:

How should I go about this and is this the right site?
Suggested price? (I paid $200 for her.)

Thanks!

I know where to post the ad. That's not my problem. I don't just wanna post and say "hey buy my snake. she's great." I was looking for a little advice.

Whats wrong with posting the truth? You just said she is Great. What is someone else going to ad? "she is now a possie het pied" LOL.. Just post what You think about her. Its easy!
 
Yeah - go to the ball python classified forum and post what you just posted and you'll be good to go.

Or just type "Adult Female ball - $xxx - NO SHIPPING"

The going rate for adult normal females is between $150-$250 depending on quality - pictures would be great as well.

Good luck :thumbsup:
 
Thank you. That's what I needed to know. Don't want to make any mistakes. You know how some buyers can be. I've worked reptile expos and they can get testy. Lol...
