graziani pastel pricing help

[jc_pythons88]

Hello all yes i am new here but not new to ball pythons. Well i hatched out 1 of my 2 very first clutches this year. The pairing was a 100% Het for pied female to a graziani pastel male.The results of the first clutch were 6 pastels and 2 normals. The second clutch is hatching as we speek and is just a normal female to the same graziani pastel,with 10 eggs. My question is how much are they worth since their graziani pastel that are i believe 50%het for pied? Also the first set are about 2 weeks old and have already shed, when can i start offering them food and them actually being interested in taking it?

They are not worth much more than a normal pastel. The fact that they are poss het pied might help you sell tham faster but it's not going to get much extra cash for them. You best bet is to hold back the females and try to make some pastel pieds in a few years.

thanks for your responce, im actually holding back 2 of the best looking female pastels and the rest i have to sell as i have no room for them. I was thinking $75 for the males and $100 for females and the normals are $25? sound pretty fair? ill get some pics up later

Your prices sound fair, good luck selling, and producing more beautiful babies.

You should sell them easily at those prices. I would say you could even up it a little because of their genes andif your pastels are nice. I do when I have exceptional looking animals. Also you may want to keep a pastel poss het male if you don't have a het pied male to bred to your female.
