What's the price of a male black back het. for Genetic Stripe

[kai414]

I picked up a group of ball pythons a month ago and the local breeder I got him from gave me a free male black back het for Genetic Stripe. My question is how much is this guy worth? He's an 07 and he weighs about 750 grams empty. I just didn't know if him being black back makes him worth more. Not that he's not worth millions in my mind! Thanks in advance for everyones input.

I've been pricing genetic stripes quite a bit lately. Males hets aren't usually worth very much, 1/2-1/4 of a female het. I've seen regular males going to $50-100, don't know how much the black back would increase it.

The fact that it has a blackback probably wont make it worth anymore

It probably isn't a genetic black back. My guess is that it's a normal het for genetic stripe that happens to have a black back pattern. I've got a poss het clown male that has a black back pattern-from a normal looking clutch.

I bought a ~300 gram female het G-stripe that has almost a full black back for $300 (not including shipping). I'm guessing male het G-stripes will be in the $150 range for a young snake. Maybe yours, who is quite a bit older, would go for a little more since he's ready to breed.

Oh yeah, age is something to keep in mind. My previous post was based on 09 prices.
