    I was talking about up but any information helps. When I start producing snakes I don't plan on doing "maintenance feeding" so I am curious as to when I should bump the price up to better match the weight depending on how long it takes to sell it.

    Depends on the animal (mutation) sex.

    For example pastel male whether it's an hatchling or an adult your price will basically remains, same goes for a female, main reason is they are not that valuable and the market is flooded with them same goes with other old single gene mutations.

    Than you have multiple gene combos and new mutation that will increase value, females more than male.

    Bottom line you will see when you get there, you have not produced any animal yet, it's not a magic formula of it's that age, or that weight the price will go up or down, it depends on what you produce, the market at that time, whether you want to move your animals fast etc.

    Pretty much depends how much you produce of what let's say you produce Leopard and you produce a lot of males and you see there are a lot on the market, you will want to adjust your price to the market level and will be more likely to take someone's offer even if it is lower than your asking price, and of course if you really need to move something and there are a lot on the market wholesale is a viable options as well.
