Selling Snakes

[Monitor_Keeper]

No arguments / debate just a simple yes or no.

If you breed your snakes and come out with 66% het genetics would you sell the hatchy's QUITE a lot over the normal hatchy price.

just for an example say :

Norm: $1000
Het: $3000
morph: $6000

66% Het: $1900

 

[Stuart]

No

 

[Monitor_Keeper]

No

Thank you, could you please monitor this thread just in case anyone starts a fight.

Yes.

 

[RSPcrazy]

No.

If het equals $3000, then 66% het would be $3000 x 66% = $1980.

So no to $1900.

$1499.50
$1400 cash

Just interesting on peoples views on this. Do not quote me on prices rar rar I just made them up with no calculation what so ever just testing for principle.

 

[Tsubakai]

Simple answer - no.

If you only wanted yes/no answers, why not try a poll so everyone can vote and you'll get a cross-sectional opinion in an easier to understand format? Just a suggestion.

Agreed with Ramsayi
would all depend on what animal it is!

 

[Gonemad]

From a buyers:
I would say most snakes are sold for pets, so why would someone pay more $ for a possible colour if you never get to see it.
Maybe if it has visual colour or patterns you would or if you are thinking of breeding!
From the breeder: they paid more dollars to purchase their snakes to get colours and patterns so why shouldnt they ask for more money!
Merry Xmas!!!

NO..... I read somewhere there is no such thing as 66%?

 

[bk201]

Correct no such thing as a 66% heterozygous snake.
They are a 66% chance of being a het ie 2/3 it is a het so there is always the 1/3 chance that it is not a het at all and you are wasting good money.

 

[snakelady-viper]

Just depends on the speices, I would say no

 

[Variety]

As stated the % is representing the likely hood of the animal carrying the gene, Depending on the animal some people may want to risk it for a 66% chance. Usually people who buy hets are interested in the breeding prospect they may hold and are willing to pay for the desired gene not the snake itself.

In a summary it depends on the morph.

- - - Updated - - -

For example a paradox het mite sell for very close to the morph itself but an albino darwin or something more common mite sell for closer to the wild morph price.

 

[dangles]

I'd say no, unless I was getting a 100% het from a reputable breeder, I wouldn't buy a chance

 

[Radar]

No

 

[CodeRed]

Was going to put $1000 on my 66% het albino macs but then SR had them for $2k. Will probably keep them anyway. Those buying 66% hets either have too little money for the albinos or already have albinos and are just getting a few extra animals as insurance

Guys I think some of use are missing the point of the thread what I am aiming for ( my fault it can be interpreted different ways ). I was just wondering seeing as I have seen some 66% snakes being sold recently ( not naming, as I have seen it done plenty of times in the past ) at quite a ridiculous price compared to normal's. To me and I guess any other herp lover who are not greedy / selfish would sell the 66% hets as a normal price morph because you cannot guarantee that it will carry the gene that you have added a lot of money on for. That is just my personal opinion and I know some will agree and some will disagree.
