What do you do with your normals?

I've been wondering this. We are all chasing morphs and the thread below of getting 24 eggs and 23 of them being normals vs one spider got me thinking about it again. How easy are normals to move out when it comes time to sell them? What do you price them as? Do you feel it's harder to move them out vs a morph? I know breeding size females are worth more.

For us, Normals are the first ones purchased. Rarely do I ever have a stock of normals. They are so dang quick to sell.... that's if I don't hold onto some. I can sell a normal faster than I can anything else. For prices? Whatever the market is for them at the time of the sale.

I couldn't GIVE a normal male away, INCLUDING free shipping. I might have been able to if I had responded to the countless "ey u got free snack cn i hav it plz" responses I got.

We wholesale them locally for $15 each

lol...I had a waiting list last year for normals!! I only hatched one. I had at least 4-5 disappointed people. One did end up buying a YB though.....
And that was just word of mouth when people in my area found out I was breeding balls. I don't even have any normals in my entire collection.

It's way easier for me to get rid of normals locally than morphs. I typically sell my males for $20 and females $30-$40.

I rarely have any trouble moving my normals. I sell several individually as pets, and generally have people who own pet shops will buy group of them for resale in their shop.

I suppose a lot of it depends on your area. If there are many breeders in your area, it would be harder to move any of your animals. If there are few breeders, then moving your animals will be much easier.

I wholesale mine to petshops at £35 ( $54 ish ) each. :)

This year they took a female lesser off my hands as well for £250 ( $385 ) - I was so shocked I gave them £20 discount! :P :O

This is what we do too. We have a few reptile specialty shops that buy regularly, plus people wanting pets. We sell out quickly.

I wholesale to local pet shops as well. Never had them refuse normals.
