yeah sell even 100% hets for us new breeders is hard ( I gave away my 66% het pieds last year ( 3 went to a good cause)

Including the 66% girls?

Yeah, I think the "new breeder" thing isn't helping me. There's probably a market for 66% lavender girls, but why would you get them from me when you can get them from a reputable, established breeder who's well known to deliver exactly the genetics advertised. People do take advantage and sell normals as "poss hets", so it's worth getting the guarantee from someone reliable.

Plus the gas and tolls thing! Recessions don't help me sell snakes...

I know personally I don't like messing with the 66% hets. So I don't know if there is less demand for them or not. If I was forced to get a 66% het of some kind it would be from the biggest breeder I could find. Those are just my 2 cents. I have seen a lot of breeders that have to sell there 66% as normal's, then they will just tell the person what the 66% het is. These were also bigger breeders not just hobby breeders. GL to ya.

Jackie, they'll sell. I sold a batch last year but they trickled out. Right now there are a ton of ads and lots to compete with. I have my best sales early in the season and late in the season when there isn't as much available. I would hold the price and feed them well. A nice size female will sell in Jan - Feb.

Too true, grow those 66%ers and they'll sell in a few months.

Thanks! That's great to hear. And they're chow hounds, too, unlike their little pos het brother, who I can't even wholesale until he eats something.

It's also really satisfying fattening them up and watching them grow. And kind of scary to think about stuffing them in a FedEx box to ship to Virginia, at least for this first clutch.

save the females until next year... then sell them with a 2012 visual male. you will get a LOT of money.

Yeah the 66% het girls too I gave one to the girlfriend ( which died when her heat tape hada failure ( and rest of the snakes were fine) and the others went to Dan on fauna for a auction after all the Wise issues. ( and one het male went to heather wong when she traded for the one pied I had produced).

My 100% hets I had people ask about them but noone said yes to them yet.

Awesome advice Mike. I will be stealing this advice for myself in the years to come
