Just found out my normal female is actually a normal male. I was trying to sell her but now it will be next to impossible. Pretty bummed :(

Not impossible to sell on craigslist as a pet like everyone else does. Just make sure whoever he goes to has had reptile experience.

That sucks that it's a male instead of a female. This is definitely a perk of getting from a trusted breeder. Either the person who sold it to you lied to you or the person he got it from lied to him.

Yes, as breeders. OP must have gotten the bad luck to counter my good luck. Earlier this year we took in a normal four year old male from a friend whose son is going to college and the parents don't want to deal with the snake. ZB had a vet visit earlier this week, and we found out that he's really a she.

That sucks :( I sell normal males and females like hotcakes locally. There is a definite line as to who buys what sex. Majority of my normal females have been sold to people looking to start breeding, and the males have all gone to people just wanting a pet. I get just as many responses for the males as I do females though.

That's good to know, I was worried about being up to my eyeballs in normal males after a few years of breeding.

My normals sell really fast locally, it's the morphs I can't get rid of.

Same here, I even considered a normal X normal pairing this year.
