SNAKES AT $40 A FOOT.
Big Ones Consequently Come High
Some Snakes sold by the Pound

Big Ones Consequently Come High
Some Snakes sold by the Pound
Snakes" said a dealer In wild ami
mails and reptiles. increase in value
out Of all proportion 20 their size So
while you could buy a seven-foot py-
th0n for SD. you couldn't begin 70 buy
one OF twice thar length FOR twice that
price. A fourteen-foot python would
be worth $50. And a python twenty
i've feet in length would cost $500.
Some sorts OF smaller snakes are
regularly sold by the pound, and we
sometimes buy big snakes in that way
OF sailors that bring them In on ships
coming from snake countries. We
weigh the big snake in a bag and pay
50 much pound for it.
but big snakes are not sold in that
way by dealers. nor are they sold by
the foot though. OF course. the length
governs the snakes value. But OF two
snakes OF the same length one might
be worth more money than the other.
For snakes vary in their physical char
acteristics just as human beings do,
and their prices vary accordingly.
-Of two big snakes OF the same
length and the same thickness one
might weigh fifty pounds more than
the other. And then OF two big snakes
OF the same length one might be thin
and spare Of body. while the other was
thicker and buikier. and as between
these two, other things being equal. the
bullier snake would be worth the more.
because il would make the more strik-
ing and imposing show.
Thus. while the length does gov
ern. st IS not the only thing to be taken
into account. and 50 big snakes are
sold neither by the pound nor by the i.
foot, but at prices fixed on each indl-
vidual snake.
big snakes and little ones are sold
10 geological parks and to show people
all over the country. For the very
largest snakes the demand is greater
than the supply"

measures about seven feet In length
