i know males are less but a breeder size female would be worth more. so a hatchling 3 gene is $950, what would an adult 3 gene go for?more than $950 right

I trade value everything at market. You have more wiggle room when your selling for cash, but trades you wan't to make sure you price at market.

A 1300 gram Pinstripe female would sit at 900 with me as well.

Yes but this is a completely different situation that should not be used to compare the price of a base morph pinstripe. This is simply because there is a lot more involved in producing a spinner blast rather than just a base morph pinstripe.

This number is based on the fact that it still short of the weight many people seek for breeding and also for the fact that it hasn’t been proven that the snake can lay viable clutches.

Also, in my opinion, you can't go around advertising this snake as a breeder yet for the two reasons I listed above. You shouldn't be breeding a female at 1300 grams. At the minimum you could do 1500 grams but even that is not the optimal weight.

This is not my pinstripe it is being offered to me as partial trade for a pastel calico 2012 female. I was just told she is a virgin. What do you feel would be a fair trade value on an unproven breeder like this ??

$900 is a fair trade for a virgin $1300 grams female Pin

but even being a base morph female pinstripe they go up in price as adults as well as any other adult female morph

Well since it is a trade where you would be getting the pinstripe you would have to think about a couple things to come to a conclusion of what that pinstripe is worth to you. First you need to decide if the pinstripe meets your expectations in quality. At the same time you will need to decide where this pinstripe will fit into your future breeding plans. Is this pinstripe going to be a big part of your future plans to justify the trade? The reason I am asking this is because a pastel calico goes for quite a bit more money 1300 gram unproven breeder female. That is if you go based off my calculations of it only being worth about $475 at 1300 grams unproven breeder.

This is true but you are not taking all the variables into consideration. For one we haven’t even seen a picture of this pinstripe so the quality of the pinstripe itself might not meet most people’s standards. Secondly, it is an unproven breeder that is not even at full adult size or even recommended breeding size. Finally, if you take the size into consideration next year at best would be when it is ready to breed which is plenty of time for the prices of pinstripes to change once again since it has seemed to be a favorite by many which has led to a huge supply of them being available.

Like I said, I was giving my opinion. Everyone is different. I just happen to be someone that wouldn't pay $900 dollars for a pinstripe female that is an unproven breeder and still isn't at even recommended breeding size. I think some may be overlooking the fact that this female still has at least 200 grams to put on before she should even be considered to breed and even then I personally would wait for her to get to at least 1800 grams but that again is just my opinion.

Yeah I too do not value the pinstripe at 900. I said the least I could take is 650 cash and the pinstripe and they said no way. So I passed not worth it to me.

This is the pic of the pinstripe
