Are these guys worth it?

Just by looking at their patterns. I'm trying to get the owner to give me the original breeder's number so I can call and ask about their genetics, but the owner wants $45 a piece. I think it's steep, personally, but I wanted some opinions. I am assuming they are all normals.

Well it's cheaper than buying normals from petsmart.

Although, when I go to the Pomona Reptile Show in Cali, I usually see baby normals for as low as $30.00 each.

Are they female? If they are all female $45 isn't a bad price, could definitely be lower though, if they are males I wouldn't pay $45 for a male normal...Very cute though :)

Hi,

They look like nromals in those photo's but two of them have nice reduced patterns. :)

If it helps hatchling normals go for $57 trade price over here so I don't see them as badly overpriced - as long as they are CB of course.

But I would say you might be happier spending a smidge more and getting a pastel. ;)

I agree with Dr. Del. The second one has an interesting reduced pattern. I'd probably pay $45 for her assuming she's female. And as Alkibp said, it's cheaper than you can buy a normal bp in any pet store I've been in, so not too bad of a deal.

They look like normals to me, but I'm no expert. Personally, $45 would be great if they were females, but I've seen nice normal males go for $25-30. It all depends on your personal preference (as well as the sex of the snakes).

The 2nd one I would buy either male of female just because I really like the pattern, the other two would have to be female for me to think about it. Maybe $75 for the group though?:confused:

Yeah, I offered her a hundred for the group and she threw it down, so I'm kind of putting it on the backburner. She doesnt even know the genetics or anything about them aside from who she got them from.

They're normals, and unless you want three new normal ball pythons for pets, I'd pass. Given the trend of morph prices, it's getting harder and harder to not lose out on $ even breeding morph males to normal females, and it's practically impossible to make a profit breeding normals.

"Animal Jungle" Pet Store in Virginia Beach, Virginia has BP hatchling normals for $19.98 each. :)
