Dilemma - Keep or Return

I would keep her, but I would contact the seller. They deserve to know that they miss sexed a very valuable animal.

The good/proper thing to do would be to contact the seller about the mis-sexing of the snake, and go from there. If the seller understands their mistake and lets you keep it, KEEP IT! She's a stunner, and a female to boot.

And, when you bought the snake, was it "All sales final, NO returns"?

She's beautiful, I vote for KEEPing her... if you can afford to at least. She will make you a lot of money I am sure when you breed her.

Females are usually worth more than males (at least from my experience) and she is one gorgeous snake. I'd say you got a super deal and hang on to her. You mentioned there are other shows coming up. I totally understand your college financial issues, but let me point out that you are young and you have plenty of time. Count yourself lucky and keep this beauty and pick up a nice codom male when your finances allow. I don't think you'll be sorry.... ;)

OR you could sell her to me! :D

How much is a female kingpin worth?

keep her females are always better to have and worth more.

That KingPin is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would keep her, she is gorgeous!!! If you really want a male than sell her and get a male! I would keep her though! Males are easy and cheap to come by! Save up your pennies and get a male at the next show or even next year but it would be worth it to wait!

Anyway, I got home and decided to sex him, just for kicks (Im sure you all know where this is going). Turns out HE is a SHE! I didnt see anything when I tried to pop and got 3-4 scales probing.

So, should I keep her or take her back? I really need another codom male, but who doesnt need a codom female? I also do have Daytona coming up next month and the fire show after that. However, this was a decent amount of money for a college student to sink into a snake. Any thoughts?

I would like to add, she was the only one with a full stripe.
