Would this be an unfair trade?

[4theSNAKElady]

A large proven breeder CB normal female for a hatchling albino? I'm asking on behalf of the owner of the albino.You guy's input is neeeded for this person.

[ollie]

hello there

in my opinion it would be a unfair trade..i dont think the person with the albino would evan consider doing that..but you never no..

good luck

I would be afraid that the female isn't really CBB. With the albino, there's not really a lot of guesswork involved...

who is getting what?

an albino is visible proof. my concern would be this "proven breeder"...i'd hope there were some pictures of a lock up, maybe mom wrapped around her eggs to prove that it is a breeder.

[4theSNAKElady]

Yeah. They have pics of mom on eggs on two different occasions.

Yeah. They have pics of mom on eggs on two different occasions.

Unless she lays golden eggs i would never trade a albino for a normal female.I have seen some joke threads showing a snake on a clutch of eggs(it was a male on them) i am not saying that person is doing this just showing how easy it is to show a snake as a breeder.

[Nate]

so the question would be, how much is that proven breeder worth to that particular person? How much is that albino worth to that particular person?

Ed Clark sold quality 1500g females for over 1k a piece. It's all about how you feel the animal is worth...not what the market says. if it's proven, eating, healthy, documentation, then I would say go for the trade

[shavemycoinpurse]

Definitely a lopsided deal favoring the owner of the normal female.


Not a trade I would consider.

There are good-sized, even proven females out there at reasonable prices.

I think it depends on the quality of the albino and normal. IMO, a 4,000 gram reduced, black back, or blushing normal would be worth more than a plain albino.

how big is the girl? how many eggs does she lay? who's had her? and how long? these are a few questions i'd ask.

a nice 10-12 egg girl might be worth alot to the right person! maybe more than an albino or other morphs?
as long as both parties in the trade are happy and satisfied,
no one else's opinion really matters, right?
