Hey Guys! Im new to the forum and I have a question for you all,

Just a little back story I have been keeping snakes for 4 years however, my parents never really agreed with this hobby till I became old enough and made my own decisions. Having said that I picked up 2 normal females for the 2013 season. They were a little underweight to breed but there was still time to get them to size. One of them ended up dropping a clutch of 5 eggs! She was 1300 grams with the eggs :S. I ended up hatching a Bumblebee, a Pastel, a Mojave, and 0.2 Female Normals. Sadly the Normals were the only ones to survive from that clutch. Now for my question, Here is what I currently own:

Females : PB 3 Female Normals , 1 Possible Normal/Pastel or Spotnose (Ill post a photo up for you all to identify her for me)
Males : PB Mojave, Pastel, PB Het Red Axanthic

My local breeder suggested me to give him back the Mojave for a proven breeder Bumblebee, how ever he wants an extra $300 on top of the trade. He also has a Female Pinstripe sitting at 800 grams im thinking to get her up to size for a late breed and she is only $150 more.

What would you guys do? Should I stick with what I have or do one of the trades?

I would pass on the bee. Well. I guess it depends in the quality of the bee and mojave. If the mojave is a nice example of the morph, I would rather keep him than an ugly bee. When breeding, you want high quality animals. Breeding ugly snakes will give you ugly babies. Plus male hatchling bees are going for $250-350 these days. I think he's asking at least $100 too much for the trade. Can you post pictures of both snakes so we can determine quality? And if possible, to get their baby pictures?


Get the pin. $150 is a steal for a girl almost to breeder size. Breeder size pin girls are worth $800-900.

And yes. Please post that normal(poss pastel/spotnose). They are very easy to distinguish.
