How do they look, het ivory?

They look het Ivory (YellowBelly) to me.

How much are you picking them up for? :D

525 for both

Nice pick up. :gj:

I was going to say $300. - $400. on the female, I just didn't want to get the BP Mafia all riled up about market prices.

Males are going for $50. so a Proven male would be around $100. - $125.

Really? I always sell out of normals males at $40 with little to no advertising. I don't see why anyone in their right mind would sell Yellowbellies (which are the visual Het for IVORY) for $50..... Selective breeding goes a long way.

Also, I'd say market price for a YB male is about $150 or so and around $300 for an adult/proven breeder. Those are prices that I found on KS which usually has prices that are below market price. $50 for a YB is not realistic in my opinion. Maybe a side deal or an unproven line, but not the market price of a true Yellowbelly.

there is a few males on ks for 75-90$

There are crap yellowbellies and smokin yellowbellies. Some people on this site firmly believe in selective breeding. Once again, I would pay more for a better quality animal from a breeder who isn't just throwing things together.

Here is my YB male:

I'm all about selective breeding.
IMO, Every animal in my collection is a great example of the Morph that they represent. Each animal was selected because of that, and not based on price.

I don't think the 1.1 YB's that the thread starter is picking up are of a less quality then the YB that you posted Jamie.
Unless they are not from a Proven line of het Ivory.

The male does seem to have a nice Normal looking pattern, but a nice YB, and you can't see the top pattern on the female but her sides and Belly look Grade A to me.

I am not an expert on grading, or selecting YellowBellies though. They have always been my least favorite Morph, although they are growing on me.

Do you think that 1.1 pair of YB's are B Grade?

I wasn't saying anything negative about the animals the OP is buying. I was just making a point about selective breeding and how it relates to price. I also am not an expert on grading YBs. I believe the female is an excellent example. The male is ok, but not what I would be looking for. Some people just want to make an Ivory and to be honest I don't know if YB quality makes a difference when trying to produce an Ivory. I haven't bred my male yet. I am looking for the right girl to put him with and not necessarily to make an Ivory.

Thanks for all your input guys. I agree the female is way better looking than the male. But then again the male has awsome blushing and flames (obviously they wont be appearing on an ivory lol) Just wanted to see how good of a deal i was geting on them, and its not bad. I've seen ALOT of YBs going for 50 bucks this year, there was an add on kingsnake i believe for 10 lots of male YBs for like, $200 if i remember correctly lol. Something rediculously low. But yeah, its all about what you want as a breeder.
