It's interesting as an oddity, but I doubt it's worth much more than a normal patterned cottonmouth. The odds are very good that it's developmentally striped and not genetically striped. It would take quite some time (probably 6 years minimally) to find out if the striping is genetic (and assuming that striping in this cottonmouth is a simple recessive trait as it is in corn snakes). There is always a person out there who is willing to drop good money for an odd looking animal, so I'd try other reptile sites and see what happens.
