Big female?

[pingure]

How much do breeding females normally go for. Like an 1800g normal. I have some offers for a trade but dont want to be getting screwed because idk what there price range is.

The last expo I went to, female normals that were proven breeders were $125. A virgin that was up to size was $75. Hope that gives you an idea!

Thanks I literally had no idea so anything helps.

Depends I have seen big normal females go for 50buck all the way up to 200 bucks.......

I paid 100 for my over 3k gram girl. And same price for my 1400 gram because of her light color and pattern

Depends on the quality of the normal female.
I have a couple of females that are close to 3000 grams I wouldn't let go for less the $250-$300 each.
You pay for what you get as in almost everything else, yes there is buys out there, but in general most all of the cheap $100 breeding females out there are out there for a reason

I've seen healthy big normal females anywhere from $50-$200. Yes there are females out there that have just laid and are not in top condition. You have to look for the healthy ones and ask questions when buying. That said though, I don't think I'd ever pay over $250 shipped for a big normal girl.

I paid $400 shipped for my second largest normal.

Of course, she was an import, and a fabled Ghana Giant so that played a factor.

I've seen some very nice big normal females here for $100 - $200, and I've seen them sell in a matter of minutes. The closer you get to breeding season, the higher the price for a female who either has not laid this year or laid early and is back up to size.

I agree with what's been said, to add:

My 2000g female normal was $175 shipped.

My two 2200g normal females I got for $125 each, or $250 picked up not shipped.

All of these are proven breeders.

That's fair, everyone has their "amount" they'll spend on any given snake.

I give you this scenario...

I could offer you a 2000 gram female that lays 6 eggs every year consistently, she's $150
I could also offer you a 2000 gram female that laid 7 eggs her first season and then 10 her second season, she's $300.

Which do you choose?

I know if I have a powerful male those extra 4 eggs could bring me several thousand dollars or more in snakes, for only $150 more than the 6 egg layer.
Call me crazy but I'm paying the extra for the 10 egg layer.

There are many factors to consider when bringing a normal into the collection, looks, age, weight, type of prey she eats, how many eggs has she laid in the past, etc.
