    "Pied" female ... Opinions please

    I came across this pied female for sale. Pied is one gene that I am not very familiar with as far as quality vs pricing is concerned. It was hatched late 2015 and is about 200 grams. The seller is asking $400. Now I understand that being a low/high white pied does not effect what the offspring will be. That being said, I am looking for opinions on whether or not 400 is reasonable for this pied female? Should I make a counter offer or should I walk? Thanks in advance for your input

    I like a low white pied and the price is about average.
    Is there shipping involved?

    Well, does this particular animal appeal to you? For me, it doesn't embody what I think the perfect pied is. So personally I would walk. However I know at least one person who would love it.

    Do you love it enough to pay that much?

    See my opinion of a pied is different from most. I am not much of a pied person actually, it is more my girlfriend (also as much into the snakes as I am) who is the pied person. I have referred to my opinion of pied in the past as " just a smear of whatever morph it's mixed with on a nice white backdrop" she does like this pied and I must say that this one in particular made me eat my quoted words above as there is WAY more than "just a smear" of pattern to this girl

    Pieds are awesome and the pattern on that one is really nice

    $400 for a female is average like Pit said. It basically boils down to how much you like the snake. If you like it, that's all the really matters, or in your case, if your girlfriend likes it.

    It's fair market price for a 2015 female.

    It all comes down to if it's worth it to YOU. Personally, I like medium to high white pieds. With that one, with so little white, why pay for the pied gene?

    I also like med white pieds but the patterns on a low white are fun to see too and pied is pied as far as genetics care
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
