[sg1trogdor]

Yeah I found it. Didnt do me any good though, none of the sellers where on it. see if anyone replies to me on there.

doesn't KS have some kind of polite inquiry forum now too? maybe not as effective as the BOI, but could help, right?

Look around at shows, you'll find better prices and you'll get to see the animal in person.

I bought a female last year that STILL looks like the day I bought her; bright yellow. Bought her before she had had her first shed for a whole $15 and she looks alot like that dinker female(except mine has booger spots on her nose). I definitely wouldn't pay $175 for her.. There are alot of babies coming out of Ghana right now.

my little $15 high yellow 07 female:

Well, following the link to kingsnake, it said that the seller you are looking to buy that hypo or dinker from goes by the business name of dark forest reptiles. I did a search on the BOI for you and came up with quite a few red flags...animals not shipped after payment was recieved, animals not shipped after trade animals were received, poor shipping practices, unhealthy mite infested animals, rude behavior, refunds not sent after animals were sent back...I mean you name it, this guy has done it. I would steer clear and find someone with a better reputation to deal with if I were you.

Not impressed with the hypo, personally. Something to be said for "you get what you pay for" or it seems with Rainforest Reptiles - you don't get what you pay for.

Personally, I don't think I'd pay $175 for anything that wasn't a proven morph.

I've seen some interesting stuff for under $50. At the show where we picked up our female, there was a snake that was being sold as a normal (I think around $30) that had a decidedly green tint to it. If it had been female, I probably would have bought it. While I've seen some pics online that looked greenish, you can never knnow how true the colors are showing up on your monitor. I have never before or since seen a BP in person that looked as green as that one did (or at least not as green of my memory of it is...lol)

I've also seen het pied males for $45 from someone who is not very well known, but the little info I could find on the BOI was all positive, and while there wasn't much, it did go back a few years.

Those are just the 2 that stand out the most, but I've seen others too.

BUT, the bottom line is: if you are happy with your purchase, then the price is ok.

That is not a bad price at all if you think about it.
Best case scenario is you paid $175 you get a female that could prove to be a new morph.
Worst case scenario is you paid $175 for a really nice female that you can produce many clutches with in the future.
