Yeah I thought about putting this in the sales forum but I'm really just looking for opinions on how much I ought to sell my corn snake for. She is 4 years old and a little over 3 feet long, amelanistic. Pretty common I know, but I no longer have the space for her and she needs a new home. I am working a part time minimum wage job and I need whatever money I can get. She does not come with a terrarium, as she is sharing one with one of my other snakes. She has just become too big for the both of them to be in the same terrarium anymore and neither my financial situation nor the space in my room will allow me to get another terrarium entirely to put her in. Same applies for just getting a really really big one for them both.

So any estimations on how much I should charge would be appreciated. If I find someone here who would be willing to buy her, great, but I think I'd have more luck on Craigslist after seeing how awesome a lot of the snakes people here own are.
 
Well. She really shouldn't be living with any other snake, at all. All snakes are solitary. I'm surprised they haven't eaten each other.
As far as price, it varies where you're at. Here, amels would be about $20, maybe $30-40 for an adult.

I had them separate for a long time but when I took them to my zoo class instructor to be sure they were both females, she told me it was fine to house corn snakes together. Since they had many many snakes at their zoo, I believed them and housed them together to save space. My house was bigger back then though.

It doesn't matter that they're both female. Snakes are cannibalistic and could pass on diseases and many other things...
 
On a side note, PLEASE move that vive away from that window!! It is in direct sunlight, even with the blinds partially closed! It can heat up the tank and cause an oven effect...

All the best in finding her a new home. I'd also make sure that whomever you give her to is knowledgeable before acquiring. :)

I moved it since the picture was taken but the other half of the vive was behind a wall. But thanks everyone! I appreciate the help and advice!
