    Need some help with putting a value on these snakes. I am new to the BP game

    So i am negotiating a trade (i am trading bearded dragons) he is trading the snakes pictured. What do you guys n gals value these snakes at. Both are female. One is a 2 week old Firefly (he is saying 300) the other is a 5 month old lesser bee enchi(he is saying 500). would like a good estimate and range prices are fine. They look amazing to me but then again I am new ..

    The two week old firefly is too young to be going anywhere so I would hope the actual trade will be happening in a few weeks after it's eating reliably. A reputable seller will make sure that a hatchling has taken at least 3 (I prefer 5) meals before going to a new home. At two weeks old it may not have even taken a meal yet.

    The price on that one seems high to me, BHB has a 2015 on his site for $300 BUT he's a big name seller so he gets premium prices. There are 2 ads on Fauna now for other females, one is a 2015 for $200 and a 2013 for $325.

    The lesser bee enchi will be harder to value as there are not many four-gene animals on the market, especially females. I would expect to see a higher price than $500 for one, even with the declining prices. I would also post a pic here to verify it is a four-banger rather than just a lesser bee or enchi bee.

    That looks like a regular lesserbee, not enchi. I'd value a lesserbee like that at ~$250, give or take 50 bucks.

    It is pretty but based on WoBP pics I'm not convinced it's a lesser bee enchi (lesser spider pastel enchi) or even a stingless bee (lesser spider enchi).

    I'm also thinking it's a lesser bee (lesser spider). Not a $500 snake, maybe half that.

    Lesser Bee sir not Queen Bee

    Im with hooblah, not seeing and Enchi there either.
    Not finding any females L/Bs either but males are in the $150ish range so you can figure a female would be around $300ish

    As far as the Firefly, for $300 she better be smoking hot.
    At a couole weeks out of the egg she probably hasnt eaten either. Are you comfortable with the headaches that can come with getting a hatchling to eat?

    not sure why he would lie to me. said it took him 3 years to make this snake. Now if you trusted the guy selling what would you think? anyone have a picture of lesser bee enchi. i went to world of pythons didnt see one.

    pretty much only way to determine the morph is by looking at it correct? so if it doesnt look like it ....it isnt it. lol...even if it technically might be what he is saying the value just isnt there? He swears it wont produce any regular BPs. But i guess until you breed it you just dont know. So lets say it is what he says it is. whats the value? i might take a gamble on this. I have delt with this guy before and i dont think he would intentionally try to pull one over me
