    Price wise not a hope in heck I'd pay those prices for them.

    Then again I'm not really a gambling man.

    That was definitely my first thought.. someone who doesn't know much about BPs and thinks those are morphs.. or doesn't understand that there is a possibility that their traits aren't genetic.

    At some point, someone took a gamble on most of the morphs we have today. Some prove out, some don't.

    Those prices don't even make sense! They are all over the board and most of the males are more than the females! I can't see anyone stupid enough to pay those prices for a normal! Dinker or not,it still a normal until it proves out something! I would pay $250 for number 9 but that is all! Our Canadian prices aren't even that crazy! LOL!

    Hi,

    I think the male/ female price difference is fairly normal for "new" morphs isn't it?

    After all you can breed that male to multiple females and hit the jackpot if it is dom or codom and get multiple hets if it is recessive.

    Later down the line ( and especially if it proves recessive or to have a super form ) I think the females would become more expensive than the males.

    Then again I could be talking out of my hat as I have never really paid that much attention. :oops:

    You all have a lot to learn about snake prices on possible new morphs that could make a new recessive or super.


    Look back 10-20 years ago on what pastels,albinos,spiders,cinnies,pinstripes,yb etc went for without knowing anything about them.

    Its a gamble you take but if you produce something new YOU get to name it and Mark its Market Price. You cant look at them of being pure normals, as it could pay off ten times over in one season if it proves something new.

    They must not be in any hurry to move them. It's going to take a long time to sell them at those prices!

    Seriously, all the morphs we have in the industry now were sold with out ANY guarantee they would be genetic for 10s of thousands of dollars.

    Theres much you need to learn about the industry and prices associated with possible new morphs.
