Trade value?

[C&H Exotic Morphs]

I'd say $350-$400 ish

WHAT! Hatchling Pinstripe females are still going for $2-300 depending on quality.

You have to take your reputation and the quality of your pinstripe into consideration. For a pinstripe of high quality coming from a reputable breeder I would say you could get at most $475. This number is based on the fact that it still short of the weight many people seek for breeding and also for the fact that it hasn’t been proven that the snake can lay viable clutches.

Also, in my opinion, you can't go around advertising this snake as a breeder yet for the two reasons I listed above. You shouldn't be breeding a female at 1300 grams. At the minimum you could do 1500 grams but even that is not the optimal weight.

There is no such thing as an optimal weight for females to breed at. It varies from one animal to the next and should be based on a combination of things such as age, weight and more importantly to me is the females overall appearance.
There have been alot of documented cases of 1200 gram females breeding and producing with no issues.

This is true but you are not taking all the variables into consideration. For one we haven’t even seen a picture of this pinstripe so the quality of the pinstripe itself might not meet most people’s standards. Secondly, it is an unproven breeder that is not even at full adult size or even recommended breeding size. Finally, if you take the size into consideration next year at best would be when it is ready to breed which is plenty of time for the prices of pinstripes to change once again since it has seemed to be a favorite by many which has led to a huge supply of them being available.

Like I said, I was giving my opinion. Everyone is different. I just happen to be someone that wouldn't pay $900 dollars for a pinstripe female that is an unproven breeder and still isn't at even recommended breeding size. I think some may be overlooking the fact that this female still has at least 200 grams to put on before she should even be considered to breed and even then I personally would wait for her to get to at least 1800 grams but that again is just my opinion.

The female the OP posted could easily put on 2-400 grams by the time she is out of quarantine and be more than ready to breed! Especially if she is a good eater and continues feeding up until the time she Ovys.

Yeah I too do not value the pinstripe at 900. I said the least I could take is 650 cash and the pinstripe and they said no way. So I passed not worth it to me.

This is the pic of the pinstripe

2012 Female Pastel Calicos are going for $900-1200 depending on quality with the majority of them being $1000-1100. So you really only value the Pinstripe being offered for trade at $250-550 depending on the quality of your girl?
I could easily see that female selling for somewhere in the $7-900 range, so why not ask for $400 cash plus her for your girl?
Especially if you really want to shot for Kingpins this year!
