There are thieves, criminals, and scam artists in most industries. Unfortunately when dealing with animals, not just people can get hurt. While there are precautions that both buyers and sellers can take to avoid getting burned, the animals really have little say in the matter.

You say you like darker morphs. Have you looked at cinnamon? It is dark, and they are reasonably priced.

Desert is an unproven dominate because the females cant thermoregulate their eggs because of a problem with the desert gene so there wouldnt be any het deserts there is a recessive gene called dessert ghost and as far as i know there are no issues with there females. As to why the prices are so high or so low its all a supply and demand. To get a 5 gene morph it can take years and lots of luck every gene you add to a snake ups the price because the more genes the more time it takes to produce and then these animals are on high demand and low supply so say theres only 5 of one morph out there for those 5 snakes there could be thousands of people who want that one morph so the price is going to be high. then when you add in a recessive gene the price goes up more because the recessive gene adds even more time to the production

There are many cheap single genes under $100. Mojaves, cinnamons, black pastels, etc etc are affordable dark genes.



When I first started a few years ago, I thought a $100 female pastel hatching was expensive. It was a good deal at the time. And now I think it was a dirt cheap purchase considering that I've since gotten animals over $1k. And in perspective, that $1k is peanuts compared to what other people have paid for snakes.

People price their animals based on quality, genetics, sex, demand, and rarity. And people pay what they think is fair. No one is forcing you to pay a certain amount. Pay what you want to pay.

All black pastel Pieds are high white animals.

You know, I used a lot of green to get my NERD lemon boy, and think he was worth every penny...it was love at first sight. Color and pattern, he's kept it well.

It all depends on why you are here. For me, finding a snake is like choosing a piece of art...

For what it's worth, I love the desert gene and will probably pick up a female in the future...would make a lovely pet!!!

Thats someone over valuing an animal. Unless it was large.

I picked up a gorgeous cinnamon female for $80 and he was asking $150. Art of the deal.

The show last Saturday, a guy had a simply stunning cinnamon hatchling for $50, I literally had to tear myself away. It was gorgeous. They are out there... trust me!
I'm hoping he's at the next one :)
I needed the female I purchased more and even at the price getting two wasn't an option since I promised my other half he could get another hognose.

Depends on her age/size/proven breeder/etc. IMO your offer was about right for a hatchling, way low for an adult.

I forgot to add that, the cinnamon wasn't even 125 grams yet and on live mice hoppers still, he didn't have any adults.
