Welcome! Yup, corn snakes, king snakes, milk snakes, some ball pythons, some rat snakes, rosy boas, sand boas...
Are you thinking about getting a snake, Hyun? If you are, just remember you still need to think about the cost of the set-up.
Thee is much more to inquire about then the price. You could easily find a snake that cheap that will grow to big for you to handle. Others might have care requirements that you won't be able to meet and/or fully understand. Now there's one very important word that I'm suprised I didn't see here yet. that word is RESEARCH!
Both Cornyguy and Herpboy are right, there's SO much more to buying a snake than just price. Remember that the price of a snake is maybe 1/3 of the price of the setup with cages, thermometers, thermostats, UTHs, lamps, hides etc. I know I never anticipated/budgeted for things costing so much when I bought my snake!! Also, you should be looking for a snake based on it's characteristics - size, temperament, husbandry requirements etc - that suit you and your interests. Rather narrow the list down to know what you want, and then see how much it costs. I'm sure I/you could get a hot for less than $80
thank you all for your help i am trying to encourage my parents to let me buy a snake. well thank you all! hopefully they say yes
The snakes mentioned on this post are all great beginner snakes and definitely fall into that price range. Pick a couple of them and start doing as much research (books, online info, asking experienced keepers, etc.) as you can. P.S.> Don't forget Western hognoses, Gopher snakes and Children's pythons. reako45
Still i know that they maybe tame but there still is a chance of being bit was just pointing that out
