The pricing that I've seen was:
* Copperheads R550 small R900 big
* Redtail Boas R550 small. R850 medium. They didn't have big ones
* Burmese Pythons R1200 small to medium once - The big ones were R2500 I think
* Dumeril's Boas they were sold in pairs, I've seen R5500 and R7500 for the pair. The cheaper once were smaller.
As comparison I've seen a grown up Bearded Dragon for R500, while the babies were R285.
Another issue would be whether the animals are nocturnal or active during the day.
I'd like to have something for the flat right now, that would require weekly attendance(feeding, cleaning).
Later I consider something for the office, which allows going big (corner or whole wallside as habitat)
