I'm trading my hold back

After much thought and going back and forth I have decided to trade my first hold back to expand my collection. It was a hard decision for me but I got into this hobby to grow and try and produce some outstanding representations of the different morphs, and I can't do that without some sacrifice and expansion. So I just want to show her off for the last time before I ship her tomorrow.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/03/y9e4e8uh.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/03/y7ahaden.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/03/u8a5ezeb.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/03/uba3a3em.jpg

She is very nice. What will you be getting in exchange?

So much blushing . . .

She's very very nice, sucks that you have to part ways with her.

Yes she is very nice. What are you getting in exchange?

.1 Mojave .1 pinstripe and 1.1 het albinos

1.1 pastels, 1.0 lesser, 0.1 spider, 1.3 norm. 1.0 fire 0.1 RTB 0.0 sav. Mon.

I hope I'm doing the right thing, because she is beautiful

Id have kept her.

sent from my incubator

mojos and pinstripes arent going for too much. And het albinos? Next to normals. She is such a gorgeous example, i would have waited until something better came along. But as long as ur happy.

She is very nice but the most she is ever going to do is add pastel to something and you already have pastels. making the trade gives you 3 more genes to play with.

That's exactly why I did it, they might not be expensive but they are base morphs that I should have in my collection to create some more expensive combos. I didn't have cash to buy more snakes and now I have a mojo a pin and eventually albinos and when I breed that mojo to my lesser I'll have some BELS to trade or sell and get some pied stuff. I've only been in this a year so I'm just getting started building my breeding stock

For what it's worth, I think you made a good decision for YOU. Yes, she was a splendid example and yes, you probably got less in trade value. However...you are adding more genes to your collection that you can use in other ways. Even though the immediate value isn't there, you'll be able to make back the trade value in the babies you produce from those girls.

A Super Pastel hatchling goes for $300 these days. Pin- $150, Mojo- $200, 1.1 Het Albino pair $150. You did not do poorly at all :confusd:

You have just turned one nice hatchling into three females. To me that triples your egg production. I don't see how that's a bad thing with the morphs you got in trade. They will all be desirable.... KingPins, BEL's and Albinos!!

I would also do the trade. Beautiful snake though :)

Thanks for the posts folks y'all made me feel better about my decision it was hard But I accomplished what I set out to do, get a more varied collection so I can breed something besides pastels.
