Normal male at 950 grams?

Hey guys, I just made a trade, my burm(which I got for $60) for an "adult female ball python" which wound up being a 950gram male Ball python(I popped hemes and probed 7 scales), and a juvy tegu. So I decided to make the trade anyway, and flip the ball python. How much is an almost 1000 gram male normal worth anyway? I never even see adult normals get sold. If it doesnt make me at least $100 I think Ill keep him and pair him to a single or double codom in the future. I tried to find pricing online, but came up with blanks. Anyone know what these guys go for?

Free to good home $40 at the most.

sorry about the male, to be honest you will be lucky if you can sell him for $50, the truth is most people dont want a male normal. I would see if you can sell him to someone who wants a ball python as a pet.

male normals are pets, it makes no sense to breed a normal male to any morph female, IMO.
A nice pastel male cost what, $75 at most?

I sold one once for $80 with 20gal tank and all but the buyer wanted it as a "show" pet, go figure, didn't think about it twice and sold him. I would gake the first $40 offer u get for that guy and send him on his way.

Noted. Ive been wanting a male bumblebee to start out with anyway. Male normal really might just be a waste of space @_@

IMHO its not a waste of space if you like him. I have my PH albino female(8 years old) that will be a breeder if i ever hatch out a male albino black pastel(only breeder her once to see if she proves out)but till then she is a pet and she is my favorite snake in my collection. shes the only ball with a enclosure instead of a tub.

I mean, he is pretty and his eyes are the most golden ive seen of any BP, but I dont think ive heard of any morphs that were JUST in the eyes. he's alright, but I just sold my two original normals. I think im gonna go just for morphs at this point.
