That female will be breeding size by the time a 2006 male pastel gets up to breeding size.

Steve she has a ch pastel allready.You can see his pics in the thread "here he is"

My mistake. I thought she was going to sell these in order to get a pastel.

Joe, in the thread she stated that she was still working to get that snake "paid off" and that the pics were taken by the snake's current owner.

Jessica...hold onto your female. By the time that pastel is ready, your 900 gram female will be ready to breed.

I guess I could keep lady but baby is hard to sell. I have had him on and of the selling block and still nothing. I was needing $400 because I need to pay off the pastel and I have a few things i still have to get for the rack to be finished :P

here is some info on Baby he is a 2004 or 2005 male at 900gr. on empty. will eat anything you give him but p/k or f/t. he is almost 4 feet now and is still growing, both in lingth and girth. great with kids.

I guess $150 wouldnt be all that bad of a price for him and with all my dragon stuff I'm selling that should make up the difference.

OOOOPS i missed that part.

It is good when my husband knows the owner if said pastel and is letting me hold it for him ... but I would hate to have to give him up :|

Get your facts straight Joe! ;)

Jessica...I'm not certain that you'd get $150 for a normal male from the average, educated buyer. You may want to place an ad in the local trader to hopefully find a buyer that isn't on herp-related message boards or browsing the kingsnake classifieds seeing normal males being effectively given away. I'd try to sell the male with a complete setup to add value for a buyer looking for a pet. You can't get out of most pet stores with a snake and a complete setup for less than $150, thats for sure.

I will see what i can do. my cage that I had him in alone cost me over $150 I could sell the cage and give away baby with it but i dont know if I want to do that.

oh i think I give up... I might as well keep baby and see of I can sell off some more stuff.

I have a few pieces of my atrwork left, the painting of the white BP n the other hand got distroyed by a 5 yo kid. I also might start doing commissions (sp?) again.

Jessica how long do you have to pay him off completly? Again not trying to be nosey.Your the one who needs to decide what to sell and what to keep.If you have a long time to pay for him then sell what you need to and keep what you want to keep ;) .

I have a little over a week. I desided to start commissions again for my art work. Alot of people here seem to like my work so I fugured why not, I win both ways. I keep my snakes, I do what I love most (art work) and I get paid to do it. I just hope it works out .. .I am going to call the guy and ask if I can pay him when I get the money. like I said he is a friend of Pete's so that might work out too. I have my fingers crossed. lol

Edit: Joe your not being nosey... lol feel free to ask me anything you want...no mind by me. :P
