    I would worry about pricing LAST. The health of the animal always comes first, make sure both male and female are up to appropriate weight, good health, and no illnesses. After the eggs hatch, look for quality, and then price, I've seen normals go between $20-$120.

    I sell my normal hatchlings for $30, or wholesale for ~$10.

    It's certainly your own choice, but I think there are enough homeless normal BPs to say that it's not a positive contribution to the hobby to breed them. Again, it's totally your choice and I'm sure it would be really enjoyable and satisfying to facilitate the whole process.

    Realistically, you may have a harder time than you think trying to get cash for the babies. You might even end up having to keep them all for a while. I don't think it would be enough to make back the cost of the breeding and incubation. Realistically, you would end up down a bit of money and 5 more hungry mouths to feed.

    GL and enjoy if you do decide to, though!

    $20 for hatchlings. Larger sub adult girls may fetch a higher price.
