the market called chattucak. its a biggie. u can get there using the MRT. take a ride until the end of the line. if u from main entrance, the animals section is at the west end of the market. before reaching to reptiles and others, u will c dogs, cats and some cock fights(no lucah). last time i was there about 5 shops selling reptiles. about 90% animals can b found in KL-if u know where to look. cheaper by about 30-40% depending on how u bargain. if u regular, the trader will auto less for u.

note: no need to go to bangkok for chattucak. in phuket now also have 1. fyi

from my knowledge hatyai no chattuchak but i could b wrong.

30%-40% of retail. mayb can get cheaper. price is also determined on the animals locality, import & export and various other factors.

if u go by train, i advice buying CB and hardy species. it's safer method.

if u go by flight please be careful coz unless the trader has arrange sumthin wit the authority, getting pass the airports will not be easy especially when ur panties/underwear/bra/crotch/pockets/bags/pants/shirts is full, rounded, moving about and making various sounds. re-scan will occur if they r suspicious. once 1st img and 2nd img is different in shapes, they will interogate. use lead ie plumbum container coz cant be scanned.

note: im not comfortable discussing about this topic publicly anymore. so i will end my post here. hope that help.
