    I couldn't sell her at any price....

    I have had someone begging me to sell them my Pinstripe girl. She was one of a pair of bp's I bought locally... a pin and a spider. Well- this person has been bugging me to sell them my Pinstripe cause he really wants her. She's a great eater, handles very well and is just a doll for me. She has taken rats through her last three sheds without a hitch.

    Finally just the other day they asked me again... I said- "she's not for sale, she's a good eater and is 950g". They wanted a price.... for kicks I told them $1000 just to get them off my back. They said OK!!! I could buy her two sisters as a pair for $600, but I am flat out just not going to sell her at any price

    She's my doll baby and I just had to look in on her tonight before I went to bed...

    I understand where you are coming from. I have a general rule that all my snakes are potentially for sale for the right price, however I do have a few that I know I could not part with regardless of price.

    That's a pretty girl. And you should just firmly but politely let the person know that you have no intention of selling the snake, even for $10,000 (if you really are that attached ), and once they see that money is really not an issue for you they SHOULD leave.

    Sad how so many people these days see these beautiful animals as just a source for money and not as the beloved pets they are...that can POTENTIALLY make some side cash IF the owner is willing to shell out more than they'll make and put up with all the ups and downs of breeding. Sigh...

    Certain snakes in my collection would definately be sale for a price. but there is a certain few that have evolved from pets to part of the family. and that makes them priceless.

    All the snakes in my collection have a not for sale sign thought out their life. If my snakes/reptile get a name there not for sale ever(unless I'm dying and can't take care of them anymore).
