G'day Trish, 250 to 350 is a fair price range for "captive bred" BTS. As for the older ones adjust the price accordingly.

I would have expected much higher prices paid! They don't seem to come up for sale too often, and people always seem to be posting wanted to buy ads.

Not that I am chasing money at all, just looking for a fair price if I decide to put some up for sale in the future.
They are in such high demand and rare to find so I thought at least $400-$500 for a hatchy! I guess I was wrong!
If anyone else here has or knows of anyone who has hatchies and yearlings, please let me know as I am interested in swapping some for different bloodlines.

Not that it's much help but i would pay $500 - $600 for one if it came up.
If they came up more often then maybe $300 - $400
Also please PM if you ever decide to sell any.

I will be letting some go in the future, just not sure how many or what ages or sexes. Undecided yet!

Personally, i feel hatchies are worth $250ea perhaps more if the parents are stunning. $450-650 sounds right for GTS's but not for BTS's IMO unless they're Night Tigers of course. But as they say, 'they're worth whatever someone is willing to pay'...

I just had a quick look and found some adults that sold for $300ea, and a yearling for $350. I think you will be able to sell them for $300 quite easily, but like i said, i personally feel they're worth $250ea and that's how much i would be asking for them, of course that's not to suggest you should also.
