Can you sell ball pythons on Palmstreet?

Yes. Palmstreet (palmstreet.app) opened reptile sales on November 14, 2024 — starting with geckos, then expanding to snakes including ball pythons. Selling centers on live-stream auctions, plus multi-day long-form auctions added in late 2025 and a secondary buy-now marketplace. Venomous snakes are not allowed.

Is Palmstreet legit for reptiles?

Yes — it is a venture-backed live-shopping platform (roughly $25M raised as of May 2025, 3 million orders by August 2025) with published reptile health and ethics policies. It began as a plant app in 2020 and pivoted to live shopping in 2023; reptiles are now a core category.

Palmstreet for Ball Python Sellers (2026)

Updated July 11, 2026

Palmstreet (one word — palmstreet.app) is the newest serious venue for ball python sellers. It's a live-shopping marketplace that began as a plant app in 2020, pivoted to live shopping in 2023, and opened reptile sales on November 14, 2024 — geckos first, then snakes including ball pythons. Venomous species are not allowed.

The formats

Live-stream auctions — the core model. You show the animal on camera, viewers bid live.
Long-form auctions — 24/48/72-hour listings, added in late 2025. The better fit for higher-priced morphs that shouldn't sell in a 30-second live bid.
Buy-now marketplace — static listings exist, but they're secondary; the platform's traffic is in the live format.

Plan to bring your own audience

Plan to bring your own audience. Some breeders selling there report that results track the following you arrive with — Palmstreet supplies auction mechanics and checkout, and its native buyer base skews plants and collectibles, not reptiles. Sellers with an existing audience report good results; sellers expecting MorphMarket-style walk-in reptile traffic are the ones who bounce off it.
