Good trade?

Ok so i was offered a Male Pinstripe around 600 gram for my female pastel. Is this fair? Here are pics of both of them

Depends, do you need a male Pin? A general rule of thumb is not to trade a female for a male unless you REALLY need the male. If you are not breeding and just want a pet, and prefer a Pin, then that works as well.

it also will depepnd on how big your pastel is.. cause if she over 1000 grams then not really.
cause she will be breeding possible this fall ( if wanting to breed)

I think if both parties are happy with what they're getting the trade is generally good. Those snakes are close enough in value that nobody is getting ripped off.

Me personally, I would not make that trade. A female Pastel is way more valuable than a male pinstripe, no matter the weight. IMO.

personaly i wouldn't trade unless you had a need for him. but its all up to you if you want to trade

Well, the OP hasn't stated their intentions with the snakes. At their sizes the female pastel(already fairly brown) is at least a season or two from breeding size whereas the pinstripe male(looks to be in shed) could easily go this year. Right now, I'd say their values are about the same. In a couple years however, even a really brown adult pastel female is worth quite a bit more than a breeder male pinstripe.

Personally, I wouldn't do that trade.

This female won't be used until fall next year & i can breed the male tjis year to one if my normals. That's what im thinking off besides i have a bumblebee for him next year.

I wouldn't trade even a hatchling female pastel for a male pin, proven or not...not a good trade, IMO.

I had a bad feeling about the trade so i called it off

I wouldnt have made that trade either

Yea i usually go with gut feelings. Idc if she is a next fall season girl, she will produced some nice babies.

A good trade is one in which both parties are happy. Good move calling it off and going with your gut. :gj:

Thanks 😄

Great to hear someone listening to their gut :gj: If you feel 100% for it, then I would've said whatever makes you happy. But I'm happy you kept your girl.

It's fair as long u are happy with it
