    Morph for Craigslist snake?

    Let me know if this isn’t allowed and I’ll remove it.

    What morph is she, and would the price listed for her and her supplies (I already have a setup so it’d just be extra..or for another snake ) be a steal?

    The way you need to look at it is like this, is getting a snake from CL worth it and are you willing to potentially spend 10 X that price in vet bills if there is an underlying issue that cannot be detected upon pickup?

    You can get a HEALHTY hatchling lesser from a breeder at a show.

    Remember cheap sometimes means you get what you paid for.

    I'm not good at morphs but she's pretty & the price sounds great...BUT...that is a very UN-natural pose for a snake & suggests that maybe she has some
    spinal kinks??? Maybe not, but...BUYER BEWARE. If so, this really is a "steal". You'd need to evaluate carefully in person. Do you have other snakes???
    If so, you should quarantine this snake thoroughly for not less than 3 months, maybe more. Listen to her breathing, check her mouth, etc. before buying.

    Link isn't working now...does that mean she's already sold? Maybe it's a moot question now...? No, it's back up now...nevermind.

    Lesser or Mohave, the lighting is off on the pics so it's hard to tell. Assuming she's healthy she's worth the price being asked.

    I don't think she's kinked, I think she's just in an odd position.
