question: price to get a male or female BP sterilized? (for female desert or hybrids)

[sasT]

Way to encourage lying in our hobby! What would stop a non-breeder from housing a supposedly spayed female desert with another male BP, assuming they could not breed? Now you have a female at risk due to her genetics AND due to an unprepared owner.

well in all honesty saying deserts are sterile is not a complete lie ..they don't produce viable clutches (some say their deserts produced viable clutches however in all the pictures I have not seen a single female that actually looks like a desert - in my eyes they can't produce viable clutches) .. I was just trying to figure something out, the ludacris idea of this post made me think as a ludacris person and I agree lying is never the right choice

you could just say that they were sterilized, in that case breeders wouldn't be interested in buying them, however those who want them as pets would still be interested in buying them

From what I understand, a lot of people start by wanting a ball python strictly as a pet, then later on decide they want to get into breeding. Someone in that situation will not have all the info they need.
