    Calico?

    So i found a craigslist add for a 23yr old calico female ball for $150. I thought this was a typo but i emailed her and she confirmed it. I asked for pics and she just looks like a normal ball. I dont see any white on her whatsoever. what do you think? If it is a calico i might pick her up but she is pretty old. they only live for 20-30 yrs right? she doesnt have much left lol.

    Not a Calico, and maybe older, but looks poorly taken care of.

    BPs can live up to 45 years.

    I would do it if you have any space for "her"

    Yeah I can tell it has been poorly taken care of. I didnt know ball pythons could live that long though lol. I might pick her up Im not sure. Im thinking about picking something up at the St.Louis reptile show on sunday though.

    $150 for a female calico that old? If all that's true wouldn't she bee to old to breed? Even with all that said I wouldn't waste my money. She is obviously not well taken care of. I would get something at the show.


    150 AND COUNTING...

    Definitely not a Calico

    Lots of stuck shed.. not exactly the kind of pictures I'd be proud to show off if I was selling her.

    May not even be a female.

    Might be 23 years old, as the record is something like 48 years old.

    Poor thing. Politely decline so you don't rile them up before linking some caresheets and shedding guides or something!
