Wholesale prices????

[Shakota]

Can anyone tell me what wholesale prices are on hatchling butters, ghosts, and creamsicles? I have a friend that runs a pet store, but I don't know what to sell babies at for wholesale. Thanks, Sarah

I found this post on Fauna Calssifieds. This should give you somekind of ballpark figure to work with. It is an older thread but I hope it helps. :shrugs:

2006 CORNS at wholesale prices

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am now accepting deposits for 2006 production. I will produce 1500+ corns this year and I am pre-selling my production to ensure that I can keep up when babies are hatching. I am offering 50 lots for $10 per animal when you order now and send a 10% deposit. Babies should start hatching in July. The lots will be mixed colors including amel, anery, snow, ghost, and normals. They will be unsexed and unfed. I will ship within 5 days of hatching. Deposits are non refundable unless I am unable to deliver your animals.

References available.

Thanks for looking.

The ad posted is an out of the egg sale. A pet store, unless they have knowledgeable staff, shouldn't be buying from an out of egg sale. I can just see the snakes being passed to unknowing customers and animals dying.

Sounds typical for pet stores, IMO.

When I sold my hatchlings wholesale, they had all eaten at least 5 meals and I charged 50% - 75% off the typical retail price, depending upon the morph.

My point exactly.

I have a friend who is a Assistant Manager at a chain pet store who tells people who come into the store not to buy snakes from the store and gives them my number.

Thanks for the info. I agree with you on pet stores not knowing anything about what they sell. They shouldn't have those things. The pet store I will be selling to is a friend of mine and he raises ball pythons so he knows what he is doing. I do not sell any of my snakes without them eating at least 3 meals. My friend ended up buying a wholesale lot and got some nice morphs for $8 each. What they didn't tell him is that they were all nonfeeders. He wouldn't have bought them had that been the case. He doesn't have time to baby all the snakes in order to get them to eat. His ball pythons are all morphs and is on the side. Obviously can't sell them in the pet store. ) Thanks, Sarah

I'm the same as Susan although my babies had more feedings in them. I sold them because I was moving and had no more time to sell what I had left. I sold them for 50% of my normal sale price. They were sexed and labled for them as well.

Generally when we wholesale out it depends on how many they purchase. I have sold normals for as low as 12.50 (they were buying over 50 babies). However with color morphs I generally don't lowered the price that much. The last butter I sold to a petstore was 35.00, again, they buy a lot of animals from us. Generally speaking petstores, especially independent ones pay a lot of money for reptiles if they buy them from other places, i.e. where they get the fish. So 20.00 for normals is still a good deal for them. I'd just set the amount where you are comfortable.

My petstore gave me $15 for my normals het amel and amels. They knew me really well though, and they routinely sold corns for anywhere from $40-$80 depending upon what it was. They made money.
