Small Collection Sale

[youbeyouibei]

I am selling off my collection of ball pythons due to significant life events in the past month. My wife and I recently lost our three month old daughter to SIDS and frankly I have zero interest in much of anything at this point, including my animals. All are still being maintained and tended to properly but I have no interest in pursuing my prior breeding plans or goals with these animals. This is not a sympathy pitch, just an explanation as to why I'm selling these guys off if it matters.

That said, all animals are accurately listed and are in excellent health as confirmed by blood and/or fecal sample testing where applicable through my exotics veterinarian. All are live feeders with most being on Norway rats but one only eating live African Soft Furs. Several will eat anything moving: soft furs, mice or rats and have no issues switching between these prey items. I would be happy to ship and can do so via SYR although I would prefer local sales if possible (Indiana area). I will offer multiple animal discounts or a significant price break if you purchase the entire collection outright. Once the animals have sold I will have available a 9-slot Animal Plastics rack that fits 32 quart Sterilite tubs (included) along with a Herpstat I thermostat with night drop feature. I won't be able to ship the rack but can include my breeding colony of Norway and soft furs (5 slot feeder rack with gravity fed water system) and three bags of 2.2 cubic feet of shredded aspen in the sale price. I won't sell females alone and will guarantee the health and gender of all animals listed.

Pair 1:
Female pastel butter, current weight: 1,014 grams. This girl can be a picky feeder and will occasionally go on strike until her union settles with management (ie: me) but is otherwise a very nice girl and is holding her colors quite well. A little darker on her coloration but is staying nice and yellow as she ages without browning out from the pastel genetics. Tends to go in spurts as to her food preference: some weeks it's ASF's, others it's rats or a mix of the two.





Also in this pairing is my Mojave yellowbelly male. This guy is a peach! He's as docile as they come and easy to handle for kids and adults alike; hands down my favorite animal in my collection of any species and is growing nicely. Live feeder on anything offered with no hesitation and no preference; he'll take live mice, rats or ASF's with no issues at all. Current weight is: 627 grams empty.





Pair 1 price: $900.00





Pair 2:
100% het pied, 50% het albino pair. Unrelated animals that could possibly go this season. I haven't paired them and had every intention of breeding them this year until life threw a wrench in my plans in a big way. That said, they're someone else's gain. Both are downright scary in their feeding response and I would recommend investing in tongs or band aids, if not both, if you buy them. Both will feed on anything moving: mice, ASF's or rats with no hesitation whatsoever. Both are live feeders and a tad touchy in their tubs but calm down once they're in hand with no issues.

Pair 2 price: $500.00





Pair 3:
Unknown what the genetics on this girl are; I purchased her earlier this year as a gravid female import from Outback Reptiles. She was listed as a possibly burgundy morph but I have not yet proven that out and more than likely won't be proving her out if she sells. She laid a clutch of 11 eggs last year with 2 slugs. 9 eggs went full term and hatched out, of which I kept two hatchlings that would be available with this pair if the buyer is interested. This girl is a grouch, both in hand and in her tub. I wouldn't recommend her for a novice keeper as she is cage aggressive and has enough size to leave some nasty marks when she connects. I've avoided stitches with her thus far, knock on wood!, but she has plenty of attitude to spare. She's back up to weight and eating well on live soft furs only and would make a nice breeding female to prove out or simply use as a "normal" breeder. Current weight is: 3,046 oz on empty.





This girl is a beautiful light gold reduced banded female; not sure if her pattern/coloration are genetic or not but she's a gorgeous "normal" to put with a nice male or two for some knockout babies. I purchased her as a captive hatched female from a Volta/Ghana Giant gravid import female. I don't know if her genetics include the "giant" gene if there is such a thing or not. She's being listed as a very nice normal and her price will reflect that, as I can't say for sure what genes she's carrying, if any, regarding the various Volta region genetics claims that are tossed up from time to time. This girl eats great on anything you put in front of her: soft furs, rats or mice, if not all three. Her current weight is: 657 oz empty.




Pair 3 price is: $400.00
