Values of juveniles & adults?

[Lolo76]

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I apologize if it's in the wrong forum!

I'm trying to reduce my collection a bit (mostly due to money & space issues), but I have no idea what some of my snakes are worth... namely the juveniles and adults, since they're harder to research through other sites. Could somebody give me an idea of their values, based on the descriptions below? I can also post pics, but they're all very nice examples of the morph/normal.

FYI: Weights are approximate, and the 2010 juvies were all born in the fall (hence the smaller sizes).

550g 0.1 2010 Mojave
1200g 1.0 2008 Spider
600g 0.1 2010 normal
500g 1.0 2010 normal
1800g 0.1 2007 normal - proven breeder
1200g 0.1 2009 Lesser - has a kink in her neck (most likely not genetic & eats great), but is absolutely gorgeous.
1800g 0.1 2008 100% het albino - might be gravid or pre-ov now, so she'll hopefully be proven by the end of this summer.

I would go to faunaclassifieds.com and/or kingsnake.com and search for snakes of similar size to yours and base your prices from there.

I've tried doing that, but it's hard to find exactly what's equal to mine - especially given their limited search features.

Here's what I would ask but it's just an estimate based on the market here.

550g 0.1 2010 Mojave - $500
1200g 1.0 2008 Spider - $300 (males don't accumulate value the same way females do)
600g 0.1 2010 normal - $100
500g 1.0 2010 normal - $75
1800g 0.1 2007 normal - proven breeder - $200-$250

1200g 0.1 2009 Lesser - has a kink in her neck (most likely not genetic & eats great), but is absolutely gorgeous. - The kink might give you some issues.. if she was fine I would ask $800.00 but I think $500 is fair given that people will be hesitant to buy a disabled animal..

1800g 0.1 2008 100% het albino - might be gravid or pre-ov now, so she'll hopefully be proven by the end of this summer. proven $400-500, with paperwork $350-450, no paper work, not proven $300

Thanks, decensored! That's about what I was guessing, for the most part, so good to know I was on the right track.

Still debating who to sell (if anyone), but I wanted to get an idea of what kind of money to expect... that kind of scratch does sound tempting, just need to decide if I can part with them. I do get attached to my snakes, ya know - and there are some in particular I will never sell, even for a million dollars.

600g 0.1 2010 normal- $60
500g 1.0 2010 normal- I hate to say it but no one is gunna want a male normal, your best bet would be to find a friend/family member who wants him as a pet
1800g 0.1 2007 normal - $150-$200
1200g 0.1 2009 Lesser -$700-800 (thats a bit low but idk how bad the kink is. I personally wouldnt want an animal with a kink.)

1200g 0.1 2009 Lesser KINK = 1/3 VALUE MAYBE LESS DEPENDS HOW BAD MAYBE NEED A PICTURE SO FOR NOW $300 MAYBE LESS MAYBE MORE
1800g 0.1 2008 100% het albino - might be gravid = WHAT DID YOU BREED HER TO? COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM $250 ON UP

I would post this same ad over to www.faunaclassifieds.com and I am sure that many people will give you appropriate price ranges, not that we can't supply that here, but it would probably get your questions answered quicker and maybe a little better due to the very large amount of breeders on that site.

[Lolo76]

Thanks for the added replies! To address some of the questions above...

The 2010 Mojave is quite beautiful, if I must say so myself - much nicer (IMO) than most of the Mojaves I see for sale on Fauna these days. But the 2011 Mojo I bred is even prettier, which is why I'm thinking about selling this one. A couple pics of her from last year:





As for the het albino, she was bred to my 100% het albino male... and I know most people would keep the female (if I get any visual albinos from their clutch), but I'm really in love with the boy! He has a really neat banded pattern, not to mention a better temperament than the girl - so if I get any female visuals from them, I would probably want to sell her instead. Btw, they don't have "paperwork" proving they're hets, but they came from our own Justin Kobylka. So one would assume they are what he said, right?

Finally regarding the Lesser, her kink isn't that bad and most likely not genetic. But obviously I understand that lowers her value, and I'd sell her as a "pet" in case she can't be bred... she is awfully beautiful, though, and I already have somebody who wants her if I decide to sell. Tough call on this girl.





Here's the kink:

[Lolo76]

Oh yeah, and I figured the normal boy wasn't worth much - but he could possibly be sold on craigslist for $30-40, since the buyers on there aren't generally looking for breeders. I recently sold another normal boy on Kijiji for $40, but he was actually a special looking one (the boy I asked about being a Black Pastel). I probably won't sell him anyway, since there is a sentimental attachment there... just thought I'd ask, since he's on the "second-tier list."
