What a scam!

Hmm... I don't know. If the math is done, I think it might be about right. 10 normals for $250 shipped. That's $25 each, with "free" shipping. How much do you think 10 babies weigh? Maybe... 1/2 a pound at most (11 grams average = .242 pounds). The shipping probably wouldn't cost more than $60 I think. That would mean each snake would cost $19.

To me, it sounds reasonable. *shrugs*
 
It's a touch high considering you can go to a show and get a normal corn for about 10 to 15 bucks...BUT these sales are most likely for petstores who then resell the babies for about 60 bucks each. So in the end they still make a large profit.
It's not a scam btw even if it overpriced.
A scam would be sending them the money and getting nothing.
This is an example of being overpriced...but no one is getting cheated. The price is clearly stated, if you don't like it, offer less. :)

The 10 means they were hatched in 2010. You only get one.

Nope, you are wrong. Even clicking their website says
"Corn Snakes $20.00
Albino Corn Snakes $25.00"

Which is eactly what they are selling them for. It's for a bulk price.

Oops..that was me not Lauren. And I can't fix cause she lose her shiney!
 
I sold snakes at the show for $25-$35 a piece so 10 for $200-$250 with shipping is reasonable. I pay about $60 for shipping when I send a snake out. Those prices are not bad.
