I may have too.
I love my babies.
But I may have to sell them.
But I don't know what I can get for them.
I have a bumble bee female closing in on 1400grams. She's going on 3 years old.
She went thru a 8month fast not too long ago that's why she so small.
A female Mojave that will go this season.
She's well over 1500grams and gave me 7 eggs last season.
Only 2 made it full term because, I take responsibility for the loss, I had a cheap incubator.
But she's a strong feeder and a super tame beast.
I also have a male albino and male pinstripe both over 700 grams and ready for the ladies.
Now they are all mousers but eat like fiends.
Not because they won't eat rats just that I like not having to worry as much about bites and I've had too many bad experiences with rats biting my snakes.
They'll take rats especially the Mojave, pin and albino.
But the bumble bee is hesitant. May need some love and patience to switch.
But point of this thread.
How much should I ask for each?
Save for the Mojave, they're all virgins. :D

Check out the classifieds section on kingsnake.com to compare prices. I'm not sure exactly what prices. Good luck!!

If they are nice quality about $1 a gram...Quality means everything

Pulling out of the air here but I spend a lot of time on Kingsnake and Fauna. I'd say 1k for the bee and 1200 for the mojo.

That's what I was thinking but I don't have the stuff to ship and I don't know where I can get it all.
I was thinking shipyourreptiles.com but don't understand how it works.

Wow, I didn't realize a bee that size was worth that much. Not that I would ever get rid of mine :p. I would compare prices on kingsnake, and go from there.

I'll be checking them out in a bit. But
Yeah I just reweighed her. She's at 996grams. I was so much better at eyeballing weight before.
But I was right about the Mojave. 1460 grams on her.

More specifically, females close to breeding size or past it. Proven females bump the price a bit more also.
Male Proven's are only a few hundred more than going hatchling rate, from what I've seen anyways.

I would say 900 for the bee at that weight, maybe "ask" 1k. 1200 for the mojo sounds good. Might even drop it down to 1k depending on interest / how fast you want to move her, etc
As far as shipping goes, I think there is a FAQ / guide on SYR site. I know you can buy the packing materials needed from them without hassle. I've never done it myself, but shipping definitely impacts your sales. Local sales would probably be a lot cheaper than those prices.

Re: I may have too.
the market is bad right know. the good thing is big females sell at this time of the year. you could get the price that others posted on your mojave. the bad part is it might be to someone who don't know crap about snakes. They can't wait to breed and needs to do it now. by reading your post, I know this isn't what you want. be careful who you sell to. the other part is what was she breed to before? even tho she had a clutch of eggs, she still can retain sperm. so you lost the market on her for someone wanting to breed something recessive to her like a clown. always ask more than you want, you can always accept less. good luck don

Good stuff..
Well she was bred to a butter.
And that's it.
Yeah that's why I figured I could move her because a breeder female Mojave and a close-to-size bee would go quick.
Im willing to ship just need the materials. I've done it before. But had to bend rules to have it shipped... was not happy about it but hey. The little guy made it there and is in good hands.
Edit: oh and yeah, that's my major issue.
I've parted with a couple hatchlings before only to find out they were mistreated and lost.
At least with me they have good homes and to most on this forum would have good homes too.
