    Re: offered up for trade. what do you think?

    It may be just me but ghost is not nearly as desireable a recessive gene as clown. I would not trade such a valuable animal for any number of ghosts. The only thing the hypo gene does is wash out the color of whatever its mixed with.

    You r second trade is not something I would do either. If you are so eager to get different animals then why dont you just sell the ones you dont want and buy what you do want??

    If you want to trade any of your snakes you should be looking at other double co doms or something like pieds if you want recessives.

    selling them is not that easy since prices here are way above prices there. for example i bought my bumblebee at around 800g for 1,700$. next up, choices here are very limited. if ever my breeding this season goes successful(im a beginner) ill try to get some from breeders who can ship worldwide. anyway, thanks for your opinion.

    Don't do it, if you try and resell them you'll be considered a "flipper". That's worse than a death sentence.

    BG would do the trade(and risk being called a flipper) if he had the right males to go with it. It all depends on what you're trying to do. It also depends on who's trying to trade with you. Is he a "flipper"?

    Re: offered up for trade. what do you think?

    The answer to trading is no. I would only trade up and never down. If you want to base your collection on quantity, then go ahead. The bumble bee can to a pastel can produce you some killer bees with good odds and the clown female can easily be breed with one of her sons that are codom het for clown the following year. Critically think about trading and the possibilities that you will loose. Breed your clown female to a lesser and with good odds you might get a male and female lesser het clown. That will be worth a lot more to your collection.
    Premises:
    Dangerous animals shall be banned.
    Ball Pythons are not dangerous.
    Conclusion:
    Therefore, Ball Pythons shall not be banned.
