    Coastal Carpet Question

    Okay here's the deal, I have this female in the picture that I had full intentions of breeding to my 70ish% diamond male but due to space issues and other projects I have let that project go to the side and haven't picked it back up. My issue is I want to sell or trade her but I can't seem to find a normal price on anything larger than hatchlings so I don't even know how to go about setting a price on her.

    I don't want to go to low but I really would like to see her go to someone that could use her for breeding or just to someone that has more space. Another issue is shipping, she is a big girl that I know I could ship but I would rather not if it all can be avoided.

    So anyone got any ideas on setting a price on her so I can try to see if anyone is interested for the Tinley show coming up or any of the other local shows that I could take her to?

    Any input would be appreciated...

    I am going to try to get some updated pictures this weekend if the weather is nice since the pic is a few months old.

    you can't really put a price on adults... especially without any real meat & potatoes info.

    you could easily ship her though... i would go through someone like delta dash though, which may be tricky unless you or someone you know has an account with them.

    Yeah I was pretty much under that impression for the past month or so while I have been debating it.

    I could do delta dash as long as the other end of the deal has the same access to an airport...more things to work out...lol

    Thanks for the input.

    this is a good time of year to sell her though... get to all those people who's females are not 'quite' up to size.

    shes a nice looking snake but from what i can see of her and where your arm and hand is she isnt that long but has a very thick body. looks a little obeese to me but she pretty. i have a female now i'm hunting a male lol. she is very nice looking though if i didnt have a female id pick her up for myself. or it could be im not feeding my female large enough rats and she is under weight =( im not sure. perhaps i should take pics and post them and let colin or someone tell me if mine is smaller then she should be

    Re: Coastal Carpet Question

    That seems to be the problem when someone else is taking the pics

    She is hefty but I am wouldn't go as far as obese but then again I have nothing to compare her to.
