Should I buy these...

[mbaker8686]

So i was presented the opportunity to purchase the following:

1.1 Pastel (F 1000 grams, M 800 grams
1.0 Spider (1100 grams)
1.1 Het Albino (600 grams each0

What would be a good price? All are great examples of these morphs and in good health. All are currently eating well, and they all should be ready to breed next season.

Any input would be appreciated, I am new to the breeding world. The snakes i have currently are:

0.1 Pastel Female (800 grams)
1.1 Normal (Female 1000 grams)
1.0 Mojave (200 grams 2011 hatch)
1.0 Pinstripe (160 grams 2011 hatch)

That purchase would certainly put you on the male heavy side.

From looking at what you have i would just get the pastels if i were you. I wouldnt pay more than $800 for the pair of them.
You already have 2 males (pin and mojave) so the spider would be kinda pointless. And the het albinos arent really worth the money anymore these day like they used to be. Ive seen albino males for as low as $280 and the het albino females are pretty cheap too. This is all just my opinion, do what you want.

That is true, but the price difference for not taking the pastel male would only be 50.00 cheaper. This lot of snakes is due to the breeder leaving the business. I would need the male het albino to go with the female het albino

[mbaker8686]

Well the whole group is selling for 800.00 total. I am just thinking at that price I would be stupid to not take the whole group.

That is not a bad price. I think what others are tying to say is instead of the Het Albino male look at getting an albino male to increase your odds at making albinos (down the road).

I would get the group then look at moving the het albino male and maybe even the normal male you have.

[h00blah]

I would say 600 or 700 for the pastel and het albino females combined. The rest of the males will fall under the extra category. I honestly think that the group would be around $850 - $950.
I see a 50 - 100 dollar discount, which isn't really much. But it's something! At that point it's upto you

Also, you can get male albinos for not much these days, so if you want to produce albinos, it wouldn't be that expensive . Relatively speaking of course lol . You could also wait til next year to get the male albino as prices would probably drop a bit more, and they can both be ready to breed at the same time!

Of course this is just my opinion

I would take them all for $800 if you can resell the ones you dont need. Or trade whatever you dont want towards two females or one 2/3 gene female. Itll diversify your breeding group more because you dont wanna have a bunch of nice males with now girlfriends for them lol.

[mbaker8686]

That is true. I could trade the ones that i dont need. However I wanted to focus on these pairings for next year:

Spider x Pastel
Mojave x Pastel
Pin x Normal
Het Alb x Het Alb.

In that situation hopefully i would end up with a 2 gene morph female (either bumblebee or pastave) and possibly a pinstripe female. So the only males i would really be able to move/trade would be the pastel male and the normal male. I guess i could up my chances by trying to trade the pastel male and the het albino male for an albino male to breed to the female.

I would truly like to pick up a lesser female, but i do not think trading the pastel male would get me to an equal price of a lesser female.

Offer 750 for em
Sell off or trade that spider, pastel, and het albino male. if you can get 300 out of those 3, then you're only in for about 500 for a 1000gram female pastel and 600gram het albino. that isnt bad at all. IF you can trade those 3 away for another morph that would also be good. You already have 2 good males to breed to your female pastels. no need for the spider and pastel male
