    Coastal Carpet Question
    Okay here's the deal, I have this female in the picture that I had full intentions of breeding to my 70ish% diamond male but due to space issues and other projects I have let that project go to the side and haven't picked it back up. My issue is I want to sell or trade her but I can't seem to find a normal price on anything larger than hatchlings so I don't even know how to go about setting a price on her.

    I don't want to go to low but I really would like to see her go to someone that could use her for breeding or just to someone that has more space. Another issue is shipping, she is a big girl that I know I could ship but I would rather not if it all can be avoided.

    So anyone got any ideas on setting a price on her so I can try to see if anyone is interested for the Tinley show coming up or any of the other local shows that I could take her to?

    Any input would be appreciated...:gj:

    I am going to try to get some updated pictures this weekend if the weather is nice since the pic is a few months old.

    you can't really put a price on adults... especially without any real meat & potatoes info.

    you could easily ship her though... i would go through someone like delta dash though, which may be tricky unless you or someone you know has an account with them.

    Yeah I was pretty much under that impression for the past month or so while I have been debating it.

    I could do delta dash as long as the other end of the deal has the same access to an airport...more things to work out...lol

    Thanks for the input.

    this is a good time of year to sell her though... get to all those people who's females are not 'quite' up to size. :)

    shes a nice looking snake but from what i can see of her and where your arm and hand is she isnt that long but has a very thick body. looks a little obeese to me but she pretty. i have a female now i'm hunting a male lol. she is very nice looking though if i didnt have a female id pick her up for myself. or it could be im not feeding my female large enough rats and she is under weight =( im not sure. perhaps i should take pics and post them and let colin or someone tell me if mine is smaller then she should be

    That seems to be the problem when someone else is taking the pics :D

    She is hefty but I am wouldn't go as far as obese but then again I have nothing to compare her to.
