Hey Everyone,

Was really curious on how the price of ball pythons changed when put into a trading situation. When trading with another breeder, does the value of your snake for "trade value" go up or down from original market value, and do the snakes that belong to the breeder become valued at "trade value"? I am really confused because I went to the White Plains show with my friend today, and he was determined to trade his kingpin female for something else (what he was looking for, I'm clueless). So when offering trades, his 700 dollar snake (purchase price) was valued at 500 dollars when trading and ultimately he couldn't come to an agreement with any breeders. So what's up with trading? Can someone give me an idea about how it works, and what it's all about?

Thanks
