Calico?

So i found a craigslist add for a 23yr old calico female ball for $150. I thought this was a typo but i emailed her and she confirmed it. I asked for pics and she just looks like a normal ball. I dont see any white on her whatsoever. what do you think? If it is a calico i might pick her up but she is pretty old. they only live for 20-30 yrs right? she doesnt have much left lol.

Not a Calico, and maybe older, but looks poorly taken care of.

BPs can live up to 45 years.

I would do it if you have any space for "her"

Yeah I can tell it has been poorly taken care of. I didnt know ball pythons could live that long though lol. I might pick her up Im not sure. Im thinking about picking something up at the St.Louis reptile show on sunday though.

$150 for a female calico that old? If all that's true wouldn't she bee to old to breed? Even with all that said I wouldn't waste my money. She is obviously not well taken care of. I would get something at the show.

Yuck. Poorly taken care of normal, no doubt about it.

Looks like a normal to me.. you never know.. but.. looks normal.

Definitely not a Calico

Lots of stuck shed.. not exactly the kind of pictures I'd be proud to show off if I was selling her.

May not even be a female.

Might be 23 years old, as the record is something like 48 years old.

Thanks for the replies. I feel sorry for it but i dont want to endanger my collection I already have. Im getting something at the show. maybe a female pastel for my spider or my male pastel het.hypo or something. Cant get too much I gotta stock up on rodents!

Good choice.

Poor thing. :( Politely decline so you don't rile them up before linking some caresheets and shedding guides or something!
