IMPORTANT! Due to an upcoming house move and a new full-time job I have taken the very heartbreaking decision to sell nearly all my entire collection and all of my equipment. Beaniessnakes has been me hobby breeding business for more than 5 years and in that time I have raised and sold 100s of wonderful babies - but selling up is my only feasible option.
I have A LOT of stuff for sale and won’t have time to be arranging viewings with potentially 50 buyers so on SUNDAY 18th NOVEMEBER I will be opening up my house for people to come and have a look around and buy things. I will put everything I own on display with prices and details and there are many unique viv stacks, planted tank and rare opportunities for ridiculously cheap prices so not to be missed! You MUST let me know in advance if you would like to come round and I will then message you address details (for security reasons).
I will be ready to go by 1pm and stay in all day until 7.30pm so you are welcome between those times. If there is anything you are sure you will want to buy it can be reserved by a £5 deposit payable in advance. If there is something you want and cannot make that date then message me and I will see what I can do, but I am going to be very busy.
Prices are negotiable and things listed together may be separated if wanted but as a rough guide we have for sale:

Females are approx 4 years old and had a really good season with about 7 pairs of eggs each which all hatched fine. £30 each or all 3 for £70
SNAKES
Female Snow corn snake. Has been bred to my male okeetee het amel/anery for the last 3 years and produced really stunning babies that are very unique and have always sold quickly for me.

Uns*xed amel corn snake (reverse okeetee type with strong white banding). Yearling hold back from the above female. Stunning markings, good feeder. £25
Female normal royal python. Good weight, was 2.3kg before breeding, very reliable eater for a royal, putting weight back on again after having 5 good big eggs this year, very docile and sometimes a little nervous like most royals. Small scar on neck due to a stupid previous owner thinking all snakes should be fed live rats. £150

FROGS
Pair of Dendrobates tinctorius Patricia (poison dart frogs). Two cheeky little characters, have grown into strong and very bold frogs, always at the front of the tank looking for food! They are at least 1 year old now (I got them as small froglets in January) and are a good size. No calling as of yet so not sure on s*x but they get on like a house on fire and are always seen together so must go together. £70 for the pair.
