    Found this on local Craigslist ad need help identifying
    So I like to always check to see if there are any snakes going for good prices and I found these 4 all for 150$ I can tell the one is a banana he's a male the guy said (surprise there) the other three I can't tell if they are all normals! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d55d28cda9.png

    Would you say that's a good price 150 for all 4?

    Depends on the sexes and purpose....... I personally would pass as nothing is needed to me.

    Personally I doubt any of them are normal. Top left looks like some kind of BlkEL complex morph, top right looks like it may be a sugar or calico, the banana, and some kind of dorsal pattern reducing line of darker snake.

    All of them look nice, but without lineage information it would require a lot of work to determine morphs there

    And that's the problem.

    Most people who have pet BPs don't want 4 at once, even for a serious discount on price. Breeders don't want random snakes without identification of the morph in there. I really don't know what this person is thinking with how they are getting rid of these snakes on craigslist, they've effectively made it difficult to get rid of any of them by offering all of them at once

    Yea kinda sucks I would be more then happy to just pick up the banana not even as a project just because my gf loves it, the other 3 wouldn't fit with any of my projects

    And I would seriously be interested in the top left one (probably blkel, but a super would need to be bred for to confirm). But a banana is completely out of the question for me, meanwhile I'd love to have the other two as well, however that's 3 completely unidentified projects, which more than doubles my genes in my collection, which is really substantial for animals whose offspring cannot be sold later because they are completely unidentified. We're talking possibly 60 offspring in total to prove traits out, that's a heck of a lot of "normals" to flood the market with and then contact all customers to update on the projects.

    I have to agree with pit, pastel, banana/coral glow, 2 normals.

    I mean, you could buy all of them and then sell on the other three, but that's relying on you having space, time and money to look after them until they find a home, if they do.

    I see 2 normal and a pastel. But morph identification is VERY new to me.

    Ask yourself are they worth it? You have 2 normals a pastel and a banana, one of the normal looks very skinny, the others well it depends on the sex.

    You are scavenging on CG you get an animal with no background, possibly health issue, poor feeders etc......your $150 could turn in $1000 if there is an health issue.


    You want a quality animal, know the history, get something healthy get the animal from a reputable breeder especially since you only seem to be interested in the Banana a healthy Banana fro ma breeder is not gonna cost a fortune.

    All great points I told the guy thanks but I can't do it last night, when I can find a banana from a trusted breeder then maybe but he sent more pictures and I didn't like how not clean it was
