A few people have PMed me asking about why my BPs are for sale on fauna so I figured I would make a post out of it to get everyone's input...so let me know what you think.
Selling my 2 bps was kinda a spur of the moment idea yesterday. I have alot of stuff happening for the next month and a lot of expenses too (wedding, honeymoon, graduation, beginning of grad. school...and the list goes on). So, I thought I would put my bps for sale at a higher price($375 ?) to see if I had any local takers (no shipping for me yet). The plan would be to reinvest in another ball python when things settle down.
SO....I am not getting out of ball pythons...NEVER...In fact, I will be getting a het hypo female from Adam sometime in Sept. (...she is finally paid off too).
I am kinda second guessing the decision to sell now because:
1) my fiance made me feel bad by saying I was 'pawning off animals that I love"....and "do you plan to trade the cat in too?"....ha ha...she was just giving me a hard time. But then she got all upset with me when I told her I was going to getting another ball python with the money. She said "the only snake you can get with that money would be the male to go with the female"...meaning a het hypo male.
2) I realized that I am very attached to my bps. You enjoy them alot more when you think you will not have them anymore.
3) Everyone that has contacted me about them so far has been a little odd. One guy wanted me to ship USPS. Another wanted me to ship DHL using his account saying that all I "would have to do is put her in a pillow case and put her in a box with some crumpled up newspaper." Another guy(actually local) wants her to breed with blood pythons in his 'project'. None of them wanted my male bp and one said that he "could easily go for $150" if sold seperately...for a normal CH male bp...I wish. Does everyone that sells bps get emails like this from people who want to buy their animal?
So I just don't know what to do now. Most likely I will end up dropping the ad, but I don't know what I would do if a quality buyer wants the bps. Let me know what you guys think....Thanks.
