bumblebee price

i bought a bumblebee ball python from a local breeder about six months ago for $100. today i saw sites selling them for $175-$200 and i'm worried i cheated him or something :( she is healthy except for some wobble, she eats very well, and she has an amazing attitude. i think she's a good example of the bumblebee morph but here's two pictures of her just in case

i really like her stunning white stomach and the marks on her head. but do you guys feel like i should have payed more for her? i don't know if she's fertile since i've never bred her and i don't have any plans to.

*EDIT* i forgot to mention how green her eyes are! you don't really see it in the pictures but she has very pretty emerald eyes. i haven't seen many snakes with that so i'm not sure if that changes anything

Not a bad price for a sizable female. If that's what he felt it was worth then that's his decision. No need to feel guilty for a good deal. It's not like you forced him to do it.

I see them selling for 75-150 locally on craigslist a few times a month. They are usually smaller, but that isn't that far off. You got a good deal and I am betting he wanted to move the snake. So it's all good.

Also, my spider mojaves have real green eyes. I wonder if that's the spider gene?

wow, you're a nice person. u got lucky, got a good deal. no need to feel bad and guilt. no one forced the breeder to sell u the Bee for $100.

yes, Spiders tend to have green eyes. but I think the Emerald color of the OP's Bee is probably more influenced by the Pastel gene.

I don't think you have anything to morally worry about. Seems like a nice snake at a great price. Would you feel bad if you bought a car under blue book?

Green eyes come w spider gene.
