    Question about a black pastel female ball python

    There is a 2,100 gram female black pastel ball python I'm interested in. But I want to know is if she's worth the $200 the person wants. She would also come with a small rack system with heat tape. I hope I'm posting this right, first time ever on this site. Thanks!

    Simple answer is, is she worth $200 to you? If so then yes. If not, then no. The female black pastels I see on morph market range from $75 to $125. However, they are all quite a bit smaller than 2,100g.

    There are too many question to answer that question....
    Proven breeder?
    Has she been bred recently?
    How is her health?
    Does she fit into your breeding plans?
    What is the quality of the animal?
    I could go on.....
    But she is only worth what you are willing to pay.

    Value is set by the buyer. I have paid more for a black pastel female. But she was a proven breeder and exceptional. It all depends on can you use her and do you want her and are you willing to pay that for her

    I've also seen smaller used racks with heat go for $100-150 by themselves. The rack + snake for $200 is likely a deal unless the snake is sick.

    If the female is in good weight and healthy and hasn't shown any issues, it's a bargain, imo. It's really up to you, if you want the snake and rack more than you want the $200, then it's a good deal.

    Re: Question about a black pastel female ball python

    So I have a picture of the rack and the snake this time. Now I want to know your opinions on her quality. I don't know a lot about black pastels. And does the rack look like a 41q to you???
    Ok how on earth do I put a picture in???
