    Trade value opinions
    So, in the trade I made, I came into four males. Anyone can tell that breeding is impossible with that setup (haha!), so I wanted your opinions on what I was thinking and if I'm unrealistically valuing what I have and want.

    I have a pastel and a yellow belly. The man I got them from said they are proven breeders, but I wasn't able to get records of past mates/clutch results to verify this. The pastel is in the 900 range and the yellow belly is in the 700 range. They both have eaten two meals for me, so I know their eating.

    What I'm wanting is either a pastel female of any size OR a cinnamon female of any size.

    I would be willing to trade out both for one, but let me know if I'm being unrealistic! I'm trying to stay local here in OK but don't know many other BP keepers around haha.

    You should be able to get a young female for both fully grown males. Put your boys out there, worst comes to worst people don't want to trade. You may be better off just selling the boys to buy a female though.

    Yeah, that's almost the idea
    I'm coming to is posting around some local only and CL "for trade (or sale)" ads trying to move the males for a female or selling each off to put the money into a nice pastel or cinny female.

    I saw someone trying to sell similar snakes (I believe the weights to just be different) for $75 each. Is that an accurate price or can I expect more?

    Yeah.
    $75 for the pastel and YB sound good.
    And $100-150 for the spider and cinny are probably average if you want to sell them too.
    I guess it really depends on their quality.

    I can't really help with pricing since I got out of BPs and snakes all together over a year ago, I don't know prices at all on them. Just geckos :p

    I'm not super sure about the quality of the yellow belly. His pattern is not normal-like at all and his belly is yellow, haha. As for the pastel male, he's pretty browned out right now but I'm hoping it's just because he's in the midst of a shed.

    I want to hold on to the cinny definitely as I really like the spider I got too. Wasn't too hot for them until I opened his bag. :)

    Thanks for the replies guys, I have somewhere to start. :)
