What do you guys think is fair....

Looking at my 1,110gram female black back "dinker", what do you guys think would be a fair price for her.....Her pix are here http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...uple-questions

I wouldn't pay more than probably $150-$175 for her. She's only 1100g and not a proven breeder. However, she's got a nice reduced pattern.

Yea i agree. Like $150 max.

Even if she's from a proven genetic black back line

Yes. Genetic black backs (in my opinion) aren't a true morph. It's just a trait for a nice black line down the back. You can also have black backs that aren't genetic and are just random. It's not even on the WOBP list...so I generally don't give it much credit.

I guess I think it's a lot like a reduced pattern. Reduced pattern isn't really a true morph, but sometimes the lack of alien heads can be passed on to the offspring. Does that make sense?

You can try to sell her for more, but I just don't think you'll get that much. The only way I would pay any more for her is if she was larger and locking with a male. Then I might pay closer to $200.

I would pay up to 200 for her personally. Genetic black backs and genetic reduced patterns are amazing breeder girls to have. If she were above weight and/or proven, I might even go 250-300.

BUT, I tend to throw money at breeders for traits I like/want in an animal. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. Honestly, if you don't *have* to sell her, wait, prove her genetics out, and get closer to 250 for her after she produces for you. If she is actually a genetic black back, you could make some good money pairing any codom boy to her. People love GBB lessers, cinnis, enchi's, etc. Have some fun with her :D

A girl like her I'd give up to $200 for, no question. She's got a lot of potential in her. And I'm a sucker for a good black-back anyway. She's got a lot in common with the normal girl who made me my fires this year.

Because it would be you selling it, it's worth NOTHING :gj:

When you want to sell snakes value is not the only thing that matters if you are shady no one will buy them.

good job Deborah. I missed that thread. Two more names to ad to my blacklist. Supertiger retics and ilovevenom.

I change my initial assessment. Your snakes (supertiger retics) are worth nothing to me.

I agree! Good call Deborah. I didn't even catch that. I'm with Rosey Reps. I wouldn't pay a cent for that animal.

It's funny how ppl disappear when they get called out.
