    bumblebee price

    i bought a bumblebee ball python from a local breeder about six months ago for $100. today i saw sites selling them for $175-$200 and i'm worried i cheated him or something she is healthy except for some wobble, she eats very well, and she has an amazing attitude. i think she's a good example of the bumblebee morph but here's two pictures of her just in case




    i really like her stunning white stomach and the marks on her head. but do you guys feel like i should have payed more for her? i don't know if she's fertile since i've never bred her and i don't have any plans to.

    *EDIT* i forgot to mention how green her eyes are! you don't really see it in the pictures but she has very pretty emerald eyes. i haven't seen many snakes with that so i'm not sure if that changes anything

    Not a bad price for a sizable female. If that's what he felt it was worth then that's his decision. No need to feel guilty for a good deal. It's not like you forced him to do it.

    I see them selling for 75-150 locally on craigslist a few times a month. They are usually smaller, but that isn't that far off. You got a good deal and I am betting he wanted to move the snake. So it's all good.

    Also, my spider mojaves have real green eyes. I wonder if that's the spider gene?

    yes, Spiders tend to have green eyes. but I think the Emerald color of the OP's Bee is probably more influenced by the Pastel gene.

    I don't think you have anything to morally worry about. Seems like a nice snake at a great price. Would you feel bad if you bought a car under blue book?
