Dilemma - Keep or Return

So I went to the Repticon show in Tampa today and bought a male kingpin for $1200. I thought I got a good deal and was thrilled with the full stripe. He was in shed, but I also got to see a few siblings and Im expecting his color to be really nice.

Anyway, I got home and decided to sex him, just for kicks (Im sure you all know where this is going). Turns out HE is a SHE! I didnt see anything when I tried to pop and got 3-4 scales probing.

So, should I keep her or take her back? I really need another codom male, but who doesnt need a codom female? I also do have Daytona coming up next month and the fire show after that. However, this was a decent amount of money for a college student to sink into a snake. Any thoughts?

I would like to add, she was the only one with a full stripe.

Gorgeous Snake, but if it isn't what you asked for return it save that money for what you really want!

If someone is selling their valuable morhs without properly sexing them, one could argue they deserve what they get......or loose in this case. Are you 100% sure it's a female?

Keep it it's worth way more than you paid, if your morraly concerned then return it.

I would keep it, I agree with lovelace. You could always grow her out some and resell her for more than you paid and get the morph you really wanted and have a profit to boot. But she is really sweet. You may decide to keep her. :)

I would sell her for what she is worth and get what you wanted in the first place. And mabey you will make a few dollars for another project.

99.99% sure it a female. I popped and probed her and had a second party pop her too. This is my 4th year hatchling out bps and at least so far (crossing fingers) I havent missexed any of them, so Im fairly confident.

That was another question. What is a female kingpin worth? Ive only been seeing males available so far this year. Anyone have an idea?

in my opinion i would keep her she is really pretty and will make some pretty babies too so yea i would keep her :D :gj:

that is a hard one, it would be hard to give up that girl for a male price. But it comes down to what you really need more?

If you decide not to keep her, I'd say sell her... just make absolutely sure you sexed properly, because I guarantee somebody is going to be more upset if it is a male they bought at a female price, than in your case, with a female at a male price.
