Trading Ball Pythons
I was recently offered a mojave female, bumble bee male, and het albino female (hatchlings) for my genetic stripe male plus some extra cash. I got some pictures and the snakes look fantastic and healthy and I've always wanted a bumble bee and mojave. The only problem is I'm a little attached to the genetic stripe. I was planning on breeding the bumble bee x pastel and the mojave x pied. I'm not sure what I should do.
Thanks for your input

The mojo fem and bee male are worth more than the g-stripe male, throw in the bonus het albino and it's a deal in your favor.
Unless you have plans in motion already for the g-stripe male.
If you're not going to be as happy with the new additions, then by all means pass.

I don't have any plans for the G-stripe, I just got kind of attached to him. But since I love the other morphs so much, that outweighs it.

Sounds like a steal to me. =) I can definiltely understand getting attached to certain animals. I'm replacing a pastel het clown male with a much better example of a pastel het clown and it'll be hard to part with the original.

Yeah, my sister has the same problem as me but much much worse. It's hard to resist their cute faces :).
The bumble bee is gorgeous. He is really high white and weighs about 100 grams. Both the mojave females have a lot of blushing. I'm not sure which to chose. The het is really bright an orange. I'll post pictures when I get them!
Thanks for your input.

I will say that for some odd reason a demand is increasing for genetic stripes . . . the combos are on the rise. But since it's a normal g-stripe, I'd make the trade. Especialy if the Mojave girl has any size on her.

I say do it from a breeding stand point. But for emotional stand point is up to you, I know I woulnt be able to trade my PH albino female for a banana since she's my first snake and staying with me till her time is up.

just a little update
I decided to make the trade! Although I miss Frankie a little, it was well worth it and I know he went to a FANTASTIC home! We (Aquatics & Exotics and I) met at my local petstore for the trade. Now for the animals:
This is the lil baby PH albino girl. I named her Robin. She weighs 57 grams and I was told she is a good eater on hopper mice. She has beautiful, intense orange colors and very few alien heads. She is just the sweetest tiny thing, I adore her! Enough blabbering, here she is!

This is the bumble bee male. He is very nice and light in color. He does have a wobble, but I don't mind it. He is VERY active and settling in already. He weighs 85 grams. Not sure what I'm going to name him:

And last but certainly not least, the mojave female. She weighs 66 grams and has beautiful purple coloring, the picture pretty much says it all. also looking for a name for her.
