Fair trade?
There is a guy who owns a local shop were I live. He dose not work with Balls at all (other then selling CH normals), and he has a female spider in his shop. He has had the thing for about 3 months (asking 1,499.00), I know I giggled alittle when i saw the price. So i went down there and asked the guy who was working if he thought the owner would be interested in a trade. I told him the snakes Im willing to part with are one of my male breeder pastels, 1.1 albino het, or this really cool looking I think normal with a great reduced pattern and green/olive colored eyes. He hasent said if he wants to trade yet but what do you guys think, I am not trading all 4 for the spider but I would do 2 or 3 depending on the group or pair he wants.

Why? That sounds worth it. The four snakes are probably worth $800-$1,200 depending on size... about the cost of a spider. Although I'm not sure why you'd want to trade all of those snakes in for a spider. It sounds like you're well on your way to making some nice pastels and albinos...

Re: Fair trade?
Albinos and pastel...good
Spider...bad
Not saying I don't like spiders, but I would rather make albinos and pastels than just spiders

Well in my opinion having the het for albinos and the pastel are worth more.

If he doesn't "do" ball pythons, I don't know why he'd want to trade 4 or 1 instead of $1,499.

Re: Fair trade?
Wouldnt you rather have 2 morph-making possibilities instead of one morph?
And if your female is so pretty, which she sounds like she is, why would you want to give her up for pretty much an impulse buy?

Re: Fair trade?
It all depends on what you want personally I'd keep the animals I have and try to buy a spider. That way you know its eating habits, and medical record. Just my two cents.
When you've got 10,000 people trying to do the same thing, why would you want to be number 10,001? ~ Mark Cuban "for the discerning collector"
