Then a couple of guys come over and look at my normal female. I was asking $25 for her. They told me the snake was not a normal, and I should be asking more for it. I assured them it was a normal, and was priced correctly. They told me they wanted to buy it, but that is was not a normal and I wasn't charging enough. I told them again, yes it was a normal. The mom was extra light, the dad bright and clean, and this baby was simply proof of selective breeding. They continued to argue with me it was not a normal and I was not asking enough for it.
Now think that over for a minute. If you spotted a baby you were certain was a morph labeled as a normal and carrying a normal price tag, would you argue with the seller they had mislabeled it ? Questioning is one thing. "Wow, that looks just like a [blank] to me, are you sure it's a normal?" But would you argue for 20 minutes that the breeder did not know what they were selling, and even more, would you refuse to pay the asking price for a snake because you thought it should be higher ? Most people wouldn't go through that much trouble, but they did. I eventually got so tired of it, I told them "Buy her for $25 or move on."
So if I were you, I would simply hold on to that baby, it will only get more valuable as it grows, regardless of if it is a single morph or double.
