Granite Ball

[sarahlovesmiike]

I found some one selling an 07 granite male for $50. The snake comes with the tub, heat mat, and hide as well. I've emailed him asking him tons of questions, and for photos. Does this seem ridiculously cheap to you guys? Should I jump on it if it's legit?

if its legit and in great health i would do it. granites are amazing snakes

Hi,

I may be wrong about this but isn't it the case that not every snake with "granite" markings is genetic?

I'm not sure. I asked him if he had proof of his genetics or if he bred the snake himself. I haven't gotten a reply yet but if he has proof and the snake is in good health, I'm hoping to get it. It would be a cool to breed him to my normal female and back to a granite offspring to (hopefully) get a super for my first breeding project. Idk though, if it's a picky eater I won't get it anyway. He has a yellow belly and a bunch of hets too for the same price, so maybe I'll go one of those routes.

So I got an email back from the seller. She says that she bought the snake from NERD, and I trust that they wouldn't sell a normal as a granite just because it has the pattern. Do you guys think it's a granite? It looks like a pretty good example to me but I have a very untrained eye.

its worth a shot to see if its genetic...
if it proved out, thatd be sweet.

I mean, I'd pay that for a normal, so if it proves out (and I won't be breeding it for a few years) then it would have been well worth my money.

Looks potentially genetic to me. $50 and a set up...worth it.

Hi,

If you want confirmation you could possibly contact NERD?

Nice looking snake though.

Did you end up buying him?
