Looks more like a Bull snake than a pine snake to me.. Especially the shape of its head. I could be wrong however! lol  |

Yes, not a very expensive snake although I personally think they are beautiful. You can expect to pay around the £30-£40 mark although I have seen a few shops selling for closer to £70 in the past.. Depends who walks into the shop and what they want I suppose. If its something they like then they will pay for it!
Who on earth brought it in and said it was a Python!  Oh well! Lovely snake in anycase and I'm sure you'll sell him/her.  |
