best and worst deal

OK it is 2am so I came up with a question for all of you.

What is the best deal you have ever gotten on a bp?

What is the worst deal?

For example you paid $25 for a het albino female who proved herself with 5 albino babies I WISH.

My best deal was a trade of two normal females for a het albino female. I am still raising her up.

Worst deal (haven't had many at all) is I got a little boy bp who was the WORST feeder and the meanest temperment I have ever had in a bp. He would strike anything and everything except food

Ok there should have been an "other" in those choices but I don't know how to edit it.

I chose "Great price on a visual" and "male turned out to be a female". Last year I got a male albino BP for below "market", and it turned out to be a female. I didn't have any breeding plans for "him" this year, so it turned out to be a great thing for me. Next year I can breed my hets together for albinos, and breed the female albino to my spider or mojave males.

All my worst deals were buying from less than reputable people. Now I only deal with the big name breeders.

Angela, will it still be a great deal if your "Het" Albino female does not prove out. I think you may have jumped the gun on this one...I would have waited to say what a great deal it was until I had Albino babies hatching.

Well, I bought 2 adult females from a guy, I bought as normals when I got them, one had the paper work saying that she was 100% het for albino. That was three years ago, I sold them both as normals, I also told the buyer about the papers on the one. I made sure she understood that I was not selling her as a het, and would not stand behind the papers. She bought them and I sent her the papers. That season she was bred to an albino, all of her babies were albinos.

My trade of two girls for one het was a great deal because 1. I LOVE the snake I got. She has a beautiful pattern, she is a good feeder, and she is one of my prizes in my collection.

I have two females I didn't say where my best deal because I bought them for normal price but they are poss het. NOW IF they prove out they will be the deal of a lifetime. However they have not proved out yet. I am still holding my breath on that one
