Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Personally seems a lil high, just my opinion tho. Only have a few boas in my collection but do a lot of window shopping, haha. Have seen some pics of your animals & they are beautiful. Good luck

Curious if you could be more specific?
The T+ arg I figured is worth double that of a baby due to her being breed able and veryyy desirable.
The bloody albinos are the cheaper then other males that I could find for sale.
Couldn't find much on the possible hets but from what I remember that seemed right.
And the RDR is a really good gene for potential. Just doesn't seem to sell much at all. And I don't know if I should drop my price and make other breeders angry or keep the price the same and hope things turn around and start selling.
I don't mean to go on the defensive when you tell me I'm high on prices. Just trying to explain where I got my numbers to see if you can tell me where I'm off.
Thanks!

I might be the wrong guy to answer (you might want to skip straight to the darker sentence below) since my boa's were purchased at higher prices due to some genetics when I honestly didn't have any intentions on becoming a breeder & basically got them to serve the purpose of a pet that I found to be a little more attractive. That being my case, I'd rather take a baby to raise but know this hobby turned into a industry where it's become a big business for many. I even used the possible potential offspring if ever breed later with exaggerated value while talking with the wife just so I was allowed to add another snake though, so your point on 09 female Argentine is probably valid.
They might not be available 24/7 but everything you have came from somewhere so I'm sure you could dig around a couple other sites to compare prices & then adjust it based on your opinion of quality, desired traits, rarity, etc.
My best, most favorite snake ever owned was once an old, under weight, badly scared normal. She was squeezed in a dirty 30 gallon aquarium with nothing more then her past sheds & basically given to me be the pet store because "she was mean & no one even inquired about her for months". I would trade a snake that cost me 15 times what I paid right now to have that exact snake back. I've seen cheaper prices & personally think that even if the hets were 100% the price is a little steep considering the value of the babies in a market a few years from now when & if they breed. The bottom line is though it doesn't matter what me, your co-breeders, or anyone else has seen or thinks, they are yours for you to charge whatever you want or think is fair. Certain situations can change things for you but hopefully you'll find someone they hold the same worth too before that happens.

Go with your gut. If you price too high, you will hold on to them longer until you lower the price, if you price to low, then you will feel like you got taken. Just don't be greedy, these are living, breathing animals. Best of luck!
